Podcast Subscription

I subscribed to the podcast "A Way with Words" by Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett. I am fascinated by words, regional phrases and how different they can be from one region of the country to another. Growing up in the South, I absorbed all kinds of sayings and names for things that are used nowhere else in the country. It was intriguing to hear about other parts of the country and the language they use.

Favorite TeacherTube Video

I enjoyed this video and found it a funny and helpful reminder not to bore anyone to death with a powerpoint.
