British, American, and both: a history of Halloween words The holiday of Halloween has its roots in the British Isles; the word itself (short for All Hallows’ Eve, the night before All Saints’ Day on November 1), originated in Scotland. Nonetheless, it was in North America that disparate regional customs were amalgamated into the celebration we recognize today. The vocabulary of the holiday reflects this joint history. Who is the Jack in Jack-o’-lantern? The Oxford English Dictionary records that in the 17th century, the original meaning of the word jack-o’-lantern was ‘a man carrying a lantern; a night watchman.’ Jack in this case is used generically for any man, as in the phrase jack of all trades. The most common contemporary meaning of jack-o’-lantern, of course, is the grinning, candlelit carved pumpkin which is a ubiquitous symbol of Halloween. 1912 Mary E.

The Monkey’s Paw | EFLshorts Adapted from a story by W W Jacobs by EFLshorts.com Chapter 1 The night was cold and wet. But in the small living room of Laburnam Villa, a fire burned brightly and a father and son played chess*. The father was a good player, but the son was better. His wife watched them play and warmed her hands in front of the fire. ‘Listen to that wind outside,’ said Mr White. ‘I can hear it,’ said Herbert, his son. ‘It’s bad weather out there,’ said Mr White. ‘Checkmate*,’ said Herbert and smiled. ‘This is the worst thing about living far away from town,’ said Mr White. ‘Perhaps you can win the next game,’ said Mrs White. Mr White looked up quickly and saw his wife and son smile at each other. Suddenly, there was a noise outside. ‘It’s him,’ said Mr White. ‘Sergeant Major Morris,’ said Mr White. ‘Good evening,’ said the sergeant major and shook hands with Mr White, Herbert and Mrs White. ‘Twenty-one years of travel,’ said the sergeant major. ‘I want to go to India,’ said Mr White, ‘and see the country.
Owl Eyes Offers a Good Way to Guide Students Through Classic Literature Owl Eyes is a relatively new tool that provides teachers with a good way to provide students with guidance while they are reading classic literature. Owl Eyes provides teachers with tools to insert annotations and questions into classic literature. Students can see the annotations and questions that their teachers add to the digital text. Teachers have the option to create online classrooms through which they can monitor their students' progress through a text and view their students' annotations and answers to questions. The texts available through Owl Eyes are mostly classic works that are in the public domain. The short videos embedded below will help you get started with Owl Eyes. Applications for Education Owl Eyes could be a good tool for guiding students through some difficult classic literature. I couldn't find an option to upload my own texts on Owl Eyes.
