Index for Blair's Online English Lessons Spring term 2024 |
|---|
| These lessons were originally written in the Spring of 2020 when classes were ONLY provided on demand. They were revised in the Fall of 2020 AND given as LIVE Lessons: both Face-to-Face and Online (simultaneously broadcast from the classroom). I revised them again for the Spring term 2021 and will continue revising them.
Teachers in cyberspace are INVITED to refer to and use these lessons for non-commercial pusposes. If you would like to REPRODUCE the lessons on YOUR OWN website, please contact me. Anyone else that is interested should follow the links to the appropriate course and lesson. Read the lesson and follow the links in the lesson to the various Internet resources that I have been using over the years. If you have any questions, comments, or criticisms, please contact me directly. |
