High School English Teachers Rock!

Hello! I am new to this community and forum. I am not an English teacher yet, but I am in my pre-internship for English education at Florida State this semester. Next semester, I will be a full-time teacher/intern. Next week, I will be conducting a mini lesson on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I want to introduce the novel to my group of students (they are seniors) in a fun and engaging way. Also-just a note- this is a title I school. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do for this mini lesson?

No worries - I live to moderate (laughs maniacally)

Thanks Ryan, I appreciate your guidance!

Hi Greg - thanks for joining our community and starting to chat with folks. Unfortunately, things like this - when posted on the wall - tend to get buried / lost. For that reason do consider re-posting the question in a discussion forum (like the one above us) as a crowdsource question. That way you have a dedicated URL and I can share your ? on a Crowdsource Tuesday!

That said, your question seems like it would be a great crowdsource question for the Media Education group discussion forum- http://mcpopmb.ning.com/group/mediaeducationliteracy

Hey everyone - I am new to this site, and not even new to teaching (I am still an undergrad student). What advice, hope, or wisdom can you impart to a film major/English minor who wants to do something with education and digital media?

Hey Dan, no worries about the broadcast - it happens. That said, you might be crazy and post a THIRD time!  It is great to share what you are up to but if you post it on the wall it gets buried over time. If you post it above and maybe even give us a teaser slice of your blog heck then it lives FOREVER in the discussion forum AND your stuff has a dedicated URL so I can share it with the entire network during a Week In Review. You, of course don't have to share above, but if you want eternal life you should :)

Gah. Sent this as a message to everyone when I MEANT to post it here as a comment on the wall.

Apologies . .

Is this thing on?  OUCH feedback -- feedback -- turn that thing down!

That better?  Yeah?  Yes?  Cool.

I realized this morning that with our new building project underway and now being isolated from the professional network that is my league of amazing colleagues, I should probably get back in gear on some of the better education networks on these here internets.

To get started, last night I posted over on my blog, www.wickeddecentlearning.com three key improv skills that can make any classroom just that much better.

Cheesy to open with a plug?  Sure. But I've gotta start somewhere, yes?

I use the book Reading in the Dark by John Golden (NCTE). I have also found some good material online searching for film studies.

Hello Everyone! I am a Millersville University student finishing my Secondary English Cert.  I am currently researching teaching students to think critically when viewing media.  Any suggestions on how to incorporate this in the classroom?  Thanks!
