LAGNIAPPE:

Here is a cool video I found that looks at the first line of Jabberwocky. This is so cool because this is a 5th grade class analyzing the first line of (mostly) nonsense poem. They are pretty smart! This class would give some homeschoolers a run for their money!  If you are a grammar geek guy or gal, you'll like this.
