The Faerie Queene: Book I. A Note on the This HTML etext of The Faerie Queene was prepared from The Complete Works in Verse and Prose of Edmund Spenser [Grosart, London, 1882] by Risa S. Bear at the Contayning THE LEGENDE OF THE KNIGHT OF THE RED CROSSE,OR OF HOLINESSE. LO I the man, whose Muse whilome did maske, As time her taught, in lowly Shepheards weeds, Am now enforst a far vnfitter taske, For trumpets sterne to chaunge mine Oaten reeds, And sing of Knights and Ladies gentle deeds; Whose prayses hauing slept in silence long, Me, all too meane, the sacred Muse areeds To blazon broad emongst her learned throng: Fierce warres and faithfull loues shall moralize my song. The Patron of true Holinesse, Foule Errour doth defeate: Hypocrisie him to entrappe, Doth to his home entreate.

TenMarks Within a few minutes of signing up on the TenMarks website, a teacher can create accounts for classes of students (who are only required to use their first name). Based on the selected class grade level, TenMarks automatically generates a list of concepts and exercises that map to state and Common Core standards. Each concept is called an “album,” (“domain” in Common Core lingo) and within each album are “tracks,” which are problem sets related to that subject (“standards”). Teachers can create different “playlists” (compilations of albums and tracks) for students based on their progress. Students receive ID and password to log in to their class account, where they see their assigned album. The dashboard provides teachers (and parents using the program at home) an overview of progress as students work through the assigned albums. TenMarks is most often used as an independent practice mechanism to reinforce concepts taught by the teacher. See here for complete feature breakdown.
Modifier Placement Basic Principle: Modifiers are like teenagers: they fall in love with whatever they're next to. Make sure they're next to something they ought to modify! MISPLACED MODIFIER: Some modifiers, especially simple modifiers — only, just, nearly, barely — have a bad habit of slipping into the wrong place in a sentence. The issue of the proper placement of "only" has long been argued among grammarians. DANGLING MODIFIER: When we begin a sentence with a modifying word, phrase, or clause, we must make sure the next thing that comes along can, in fact, be modified by that modifier. A participial phrase followed by an Expletive Construction will often be a dangling participle — but the expletive construction is probably not a good idea anyway. A participial phrase followed by a Passive Verb is also apt to be a dangler because the real actor of the sentence will be disguised. An infinitive phrase can also "dangle."

Much has been said and written about the benefits and advantages of the Flipped Classroom throughout the year, so during the last three weeks of school I decided to experiment with this model of instruction and I flipped my math classroom. Using Explain Everything on my iPad, I created a series of videos that my students watched prior to coming to school. Although the results were highly encouraging and made me a fervent proponent of the Flipped Classroom, there are four things that I think every classroom teacher should know before they start using the Flipped Classroom model. Some Students Will Take Longer To Adapt Than Others Teachers should keep in mind that many students will need a week or two to adjust to the new “homework reality” that the Flipped Classroom is based on. Teacher-Made Videos Must Be Engaging Recording Time Might Be Longer Than You Anticipate Video Formats Should Be Chosen Carefully
