• Hi Dennis,

  You have a great collection and variety of "It's A Wonderful Life" learning activities and thought I'd share one more...

  • Thanks for sharing your site, John.

• Hello,

  I am very glad to have found your web page. It was very informative! I was very discouraged this semester with my English class. I have never received a low grade on essays with very little feedback on areas I can improve. Your website was very helpful in helping me complete my research paper.

  Thanks,

  Ana

  • Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you found my site helpful.

• A script is very different from a short story, so it might make sense for you to check out some library books on writing in both genres, to find out out which one is best for you. Here are a few pointers on choosing a point of view. http://jerz.setonhill.edu/writing/creative1/shortstory/#view

• Hey there Dennis I have to ask you something. I am writing a couple of short stories well stories that are like a series so I don’t know how you would call that. Mainly I would like to know how you would write it since I sometimes get 1st and 3rd person messed up a lot and I usually write in script format. I do enjoy writing it like that, but if I say want it to get published or something I may have to change the format and yea. Thanks for your help by the way.

• Dennis, Thank you, thank you for page on writing thesis statements. It's great to find good resources out there to help students, and I particularly liked your breakdown of different parts of a thesis and the formulas you offer. I've seen similar things, but your site coalesced the information into language that students can understand. I adapted parts of that page into a Power Point (which I don't use for every lecture, but I find it makes a nice change now and then, particularly if I have the students try writing their own work alongside it). If you would like a copy of the Power Point, feel free to let me know.

  • Sure, I'd be happy to see your presentation.

• Hello,

  I really enjoyed surfing around your site. I am required to present to an audience of 100 every year and your tips on oral presentations are great!

  I am also writing to ask you for permission to use some images that you scanned a long time ago on Karel Capek's play, R.U.R.

  Could you please contact me if I could use the images that you scanned?

  Thank you!

  • I don't hold the rights to the images, though I do believe their use on my academic website is consistent with "fair use."

• I would have liked to write and thank you but no email id is mentioned. I have posted a link to your article on "Show, Don't (Just) Tell" in my blog. Thanks and I'll follow your blog from now on.

• Thank you, Keith, for your kind words. That article was a lot of fun to write -- sometimes I still can't believe that it all fell in place like that.

• Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article "Somewhere Nearby is Colossal Cave: Examining Will Crowther's Original "Adventure" in Code and in Kentucky" in DHQ. As a native Kentuckian, outdoor enthusiast, and a geek it was with tremendous pleasure that I read your historical assessment.

  Thank you.
