This powerpoint is about different punctuation rules. I am planning on being a lower elementary school teacher so I wanted to create a basic lesson for students primarily in second grade. The powerpoint has eight different punctuation rules followed by examples of each in actual sentences. Following the eight different rules, there is a practice lesson which applies each different example of the punctuation rules discussed earlier.

This is the same powerpoint as above, but this time it has narration. The narration should help with applying the slides and help show students exactly where certain punctuation should be placed.

This is my podcast about what I believe the next governor of Michigan needs to address. I discuss the high unemployment rate in Michigan and how we can fix these rates by lowering taxes, bringing in global companies, and letting plans develop. Statistics are from http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/state_unemployment/. The music is from www.internetarchive.com. media type="file" key="Ellenspodcast.mp3" width="240" height="20"

This is an the image assignment in which I found the tiger picture from flickr.com and the picture of the lion was taken at a recent trip to the Potter Park Zoo in Lansing, Michigan. I chose to have students compare these two pictures because I would like to be a Kindergarten/1st grade teacher and I feel it is important that students at this age learn about different animals.

The assignment is to evaluate the differences between the two animals in the photos. Start out by identifying the two different animals. Then identify three differences in the two animals dealing only with their appearance. After, identify the differences between the two animals that doesn't have to deal with appearance. Such as Lions hunt in packs.
