I had not found it! Thanks so much. I will enjoy using that next year. There is so much on the web! One of the great pleasures of my life is finding new things on the web and sharing them with my family, friends, and students. I found some excellent webquests for grammar on the web last night. I am migrating to power point, and getting several of my lessons up and running as power point presentations- and I can embed links in them- so I may save that link you just gave me for embedding. Technology can be so cool, when used for humanitarian goals. I just wish it wasn't so easy to use it for evil (evil, of course, defined in my subjective opinion).

Must read fun books- amazon.com I read all 3 this weekend (the above + Tears of the Giraffe, and Morality for Beautiful Girls)- I did not get the Kalahari Typing School yet- but I'm reading that ASAP. I loved these books- so fun. Creampuff books- but not stupid books- rarely have I run across the word "Funagalo" (sp?)for example- i remember it from American Dreamer (the movie) but I don't believe I have ever run across it in print, until now (according to the definition in American Dreamer Funagalo is a language that is a mixture of Bantu tongues spoken in the mining towns of S. Africa- that seemed to fit the way it was used in these books, but I suppose I will look it up just to make sure). And I told you to see The Guru?- at least I hope I did. See it, you will love it. Excellent movie. Helps if you've seen some Bollywood movies, like Lagaan, but if you haven't, you will still love it.
