The Drip Torch is a catalyst for fire on the prairie. As an English teacher at Ames High School, I aspire to ignite the smoldering sense of wonder in my students, to alight their inherent desire to learn, to create, to communicate with style and panache. I hope our work together offers a light line, destroys dead wood, and primes the prairie for new growth.

English 12 - Shakespeare Scholars!
Seniors in English 12, you've been doing a fantastic job with your initial interpretations and analysis of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Bravo! Keep up the great work!
Use this link from the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C. to become a Shakespearean Scholar . Simply paraphrase these 10 facts on a separate piece of paper. Write each of them out in your own words with your own hand on your own piece of paper, in complete sentences, of course.
THEN, explore the Folger's web site to discover at least five more things to teach us about Shakespeare -- his life, his plays, his theatre, his times, or his legacy. Add them to your list and turn them in to Mr. Hayungs at the end of the period. I'll see you Monday, book in hand!
