What type of schooling do I need in order to become a public speaking teacher in high school?
I already have a BA in English. I do not want to teach english classes because I don’t have much interest in literature, I am more into performance since I am involved with improv and stand up comedy. I think I’d be good at teaching public speaking, acting courses, or anything communications related…
Any ideas on how to decorate a door with a christmas theme that is linked to English for freshman students?
We’re having a door decorating contest for our freshman students. Each class has to have a christmas theme that is linked to the homeroom subject. I teach English. So far we have made a Santa and we are going to have cotton for mountains of snow in the background, and snow for him to stand on. I am also going to have Santa holding a list of all the student’s names. Now I just can’t think of a way to link that to English/literature.
Is it legal to teach the Bible as literature in public schools in the US?
Any particular cases about this? Personal opinions are OK, but try to back them up with facts 
By literature, I mean teach it in an English class as part of the curriculum.
ebeth : Thanks for the speedy response! Out of curiousity, did you feel the teacher showed any bias (either implied Bible was God’s word, or implied it was fiction)?
Or did he/she handle it pretty neutrally?
timvansickel : Thanks as well! A specific source would be fine.
