Today is Tuesday, November 15, 2011, and Ms. Kingsley’s Accelerated English 12 class is working on a podcast for Act I scene iv of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The scene begins on a platform outside of the castle where Hamlet and Horatio are talking. It begins at a little after twelve on a cold evening. While Horatio and Hamlet are talking there is a party going on inside the castle walls. A cannon shot is heard in the distance as the two men are speaking as well as a flourish of trumpets.
A ghost appears and beckons to Hamlet, Horatio is reluctant and tries to stop Hamlet from going with the ghost for he fears that Hamlet may die in the process. I hope you enjoy this wonderfully written piece by one of the world’s greatest playwrights. Sit back relax and enjoy the show!
This is the second year for Social Communication: a blended classroom of senior remediation students and autistic support students. We meet 3 days a week and experiment with ways of getting the two groups to communication socially. Teaching the functions of cell phones has become one of our favorite days. It is always a win-win collaboration when the cellphones come out.

Autism is a puzzling disorder that affects 1 in every 110 children born. Though mostly impacting males, females are also affected with this yet to be fully understood disorder. It is my privilege at this time in my life to work with a group of autistic support children who are partnered with my senior remediation students in a class called Social Communication. This week's lesson was about the six basic emotions. Here's the rest of the story.
This poem came while I slept last night. It popped into my head early this morning at dawn and I was gifted with its remains before fully waking. I managed to say it over in my head upon waking up and then wrote it down.
The musical background is by Moseby who is an artist I found on Ujam.com. This is an instrumental called "The Arm of the Lord," and it works perfectly with the subject of this piece. Please visit their site if you are interested in creating or listening to music for free.
