Do you remember the first time you looked under the hood of a car or popped off
the back of an electric toy to see the inner workings? Well, most of us go
through our entire life speaking a highly complex and organized set of sounds we
call language without ever getting a glimpse under its hood. So come have a look
at some of the hidden gears and spark plugs that have steered and energized
English over the centuries. King Alfred's English provides a guided tour of
forces and events, conquerors and writers that have shaped, simplified, matured
and expanded English into what it is today—the largest and most flexible
language in the world and the first truly global language in history.
King Alfred's English
A History of the Language We Speak
and Why We Should Be Glad We Do
This 145-page text provides a unique,
one-semester study in both history and English. Recommended for
students grades 7 through 12.

What's a Nice Kid Like You Doing at Home on a School Day? Want an easy
to read apology for why you homeschool your kids? This one is good for giving to
well-meaning but skeptical family members and friends to help them see the
homeschool side of things. Great for those who won't read a book but want more
than a few minutes of an explanation.
The you tube videos that follow were initially put up for my
NCCA students, but I've had such good comments on them that I kept them here for anyone who is interested.
I have recently discovered Richard Feynman.
He was a Harvard professor, a physicist and Nobel prize winner, with
a great sense of humor.
