Altering a quotation?

by JS

May 19, 2015

A quick question for English teachers (and I'm asking as a retired HS English teacher) - my daughter (10th gr) was dinged significantly on her research paper for using quotations that included contractions in them.

Kathy For this teacher, I would advise your daughter to change the contractions, but place brackets around the altered parts. Did this teacher come from a journalism background? Not that you alter quotes there either, but in some places/schools I've seen it done.

Cover letter for Job

by Ian Jaschek

Apr 2, 2015

I am applying for a High School English position in Austin Texas. I want the cover letter for my resume to be unique, so I was consider doing it in an iambic pentameter poem. Do you think that would be a fruitful endeavor or annoying for everyone who has to read it. Also, assume the poem will be mediocre.

Hi, I'm just about to start teaching Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close to a group of juniors. What I'm looking for is some other class, somewhere, with whom my students could share an observation blog. Anyone reading this book?

Thank you.

Kathy M A couple of thoughts come to mind.

I always followed this up with Raisin in the Sun with Sidney Poitier. I explain that Walter Lee is 20 years younger than Richard, but that the mother, Lena, would be the same age as Richard. Lena, is in fact, a female version of Richard. Lena b. 1907 Walter b. 1927 Raisin set 1962 Travis b. 1957 Travis co...See More
