Well the microsoft publisher opens many doors for me as an Enlgish teacher.
1- I made an advertisement for Captain Ahab's ship the Pequod. This is a great hook for getting into my unit on Moby Dick.
2- This thing has resume templates! Have you any idea how much easier that will be for my students? I know a resume is an assignment that high school students have to complete, and now they can look nice!
3- There is a banner feature, which I will use to decorate my class with fun sayings, quotes, or jokes. The classroom isn't worth visiting if it isn't a little bit colorful.
4- I could have my students use the menu feature to make a menu for the crew in Moby Dick. After reading the book it would be funny to see what they came up with.
5- And finally, I would love to see what my students could come up with as far as a business card for themselves AND for characters in the books we are reading. Such as: Narrator from the Tell Tale Heart. Very patient, doesn't work well under pressure, phone number: Local loony bin
