What's Going on in Gokturk's English World?
You have just entered Ms. Gokturk's English Class Online Calandar site! Simply put, this site is a tool for organization. It contains class calendars, emphasizes due dates, and holds most of Ms. Gokturk's handouts used in her high school English classes on Long Island, NY. Students may access their assignments from this site and keep up to date from any location. Teachers may use this site for ideas, too! There are lessons and projects here for journalism, end of the world literature, essay writing, and writing and technology. Some of the novels taught in these pages include: Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake, George Stewart's Earth Abides, HG Wells' The Time Machine, JD Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, William Golding's Lord of the Flies, Sophocles' Antigone, Albert Camus' The Stranger & The Misunderstanding, Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, and Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Some short stories you might find here include: Isacc Asimov's "Nightfall," Arthur C. Clarke's "The Star," Pamela Zoline's "The heat death of the Universe," HG Wells' "The Star," JD Salinger's "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," Patricia Highsmith's collection of short stories, "Noah's Flood," and a growing menu of other short works. Enjoy your exploration! [Teachers, you have my permission to use anything you find; I would love to hear what you did and how it went! Plus, I am always in the market for new ideas, too!]
