Pride and Prejudice Regency Period Power Point
The leisurely air of the characters in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice can be confusing to readers of today, who—you know—expect people to actually have jobs and do things.

Intro to Rhetoric
This is a 17 slide ppt that introduces rhetoric, ethos, pathos, logos, and similar ideas. It goes directly with The Language of Composition (2nd ed) Chapter 1. I assign students in my AP English Language and Composition class to read the chapter before this lecture and complete the activities on pages 2, 6, 12, and 22. With minor tweaking, this lecture can work for any intro to rhetoric without the book. I usually break this lecture up over two days with class discussion.

Media Literacy: Advance Media Studies Triangle + Ad Analysis
This is a more advanced approach to the media studies triangle. With my grade 11 media students, I taught the media studies triangle based on a series of questions for each side. That's a good way to introduce the media triangle, but I wanted my grade 12 students to go deeper and give me more analytical and mature responses. I wanted them to stop relying on specific questions (and not considering other possible questions) to guide them through an analysis.Instead of thinking of the sides of the

Fat Bias and Body Positivity: An Overview
Is fat bias/fat bashing the last politically correct, acceptable prejudice? There is a lot of evidence that points to the answer ‘yes.’ We, as a culture, wrongly believe that “fat” is synonymous with ‘lazy,’ and ‘stupid’ and ‘lacking in self control.’ As a result, many fat people are outright bullied and insidiously shamed by the media, societal beauty and moral standards, “health” advocates and providers, and even “friends” and family members.

This work deals with the word formation, and describes the ways how the new words enter the English language. The aim of this work is to address the question of how words are related to other words and how the langu
