Shakespeare: Subject to Change
<http://www.ciconline.com/bdp1/>http://www.ciconline.com/bdp1/
I've mentioned this one before, but it's worth a second go. This
wonderful site introduces students to Shakespearean English in
general and to the play Hamlet in particular. It includes words
Shakespeare coined, an exploration of the editing and printing
process of the day, and Shakespearean insults. Headsets are
strongly recommended; broadband access is best if working with
the Hamlet materials.

<http://www.humboldt.edu/~engl406/Z/warriors/lesson.html>http://www.humboldt.edu/~engl406/Z/warriors/lesson.html
Suggestions for responding to the book in a variety of styles
of writing.

3. Tense?
An English teacher spent a lot of time marking grammatical errors
on her students' papers and was beginning to doubt whether she was
getting through to them. One day as the stress got to her, she
leaned over her desk and rubbed her temples.
"What's the matter, Mrs. D?" one passing student asked.
"Tense," she mumbled.
The student hesitated a moment, then said, "What could be the
matter? What has been the matter? What was the matter?"
