This site was constructed as a Technology Integrated Project for the Fayette County School Corporation, Connersville, Indiana.
This site addresses the following Indiana Standards 2000 for English:
9.1.3: Use knowledge of Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology to understand the origin and meaning of new words.
Note to teachers: No words from Norse myth are included because I only know of three words (berserk, rune, and valkyrie) which entered English from Norse mythology, aside from the days of the week.
9.6.3: Produce legible work that shows accurate spelling and correct use of the conventions of punctuation and capitalization.
10.1.3: Use knowledge of Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology to understand the origin and meaning of new words.
10.2.3: Demonstrate use of sophisticated technology by following technical directions.
10.6.3: Produce legible work that shows accurate spelling and correct use of the conventions of punctuation and capitalization.
To the students, colleagues, and friends -- you know who you are! -- who debugged this project and made helpful suggestions, many thanks.
This site was launched October 29, 2000. I hope it will be a useful educational tool. Please let me know of any bugs, rants, or raves: Carla Beard.
Calliope, Muse of Eloquence has been honored with these awards.
