More 'Goodnight Mr. Tom' resources

I am having trouble with the new blogger format at present and so have loaded up the Sliderocket multi-media presentation for GMT on my wikispace-clunky compared to a website but at least you can view it from there until the current blogger problems are remedied. 


www.stannersenglishmatters.wikispaces.com 

What I like about Sliderocket is that it is a user friendly way to embed video and audio into ppt without having to fiddle with all the codes and so on. It is costly to some of the freeware that is available but it provides a large online repository of presentations in case of computer meltdown.
There is simply so much that is available to teach this text. Hope you find this presentation useful and while on the wikispace site, check out some of the primary evidence resources also available.
Will hopefully get some of the glitches fixed up with this blogsite-please bear with me.
