Welcome to Kent's English and Education Page. You will find many resources for English teachers and students to use in English classes as well as other K-12 educational disciplines. Also included are pages dedicated to various novels (Shoeless Joe, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Once and Future King, etc.) some resources for students and teachers alike, games, puzzles, and riddles, and some creative writing links. You will also find a page dedicated to Shakespeare. In the future I will post some examples of my students' writing. This page's real purpose will be to act as a supplement to the curriculum, especially in literature.
I am an English teacher at West Pike High School in Kinderhook, Illinois, where two classes are currently constructing a new school web site. If you REALLY want to know more about me, click here. We live in rural Pike County, Illinois.
