E-Mail of the Week: My students are studying excerpts from various works by James Fenimore Cooper and are exploring the qualities of the first American hero, Natty Bumppo. We are viewing Last of the Mohicans and working on character sketches of each of the major characters. This site has been invaluable for providing printed script for the study of direct description not afforded by simply viewing the film. It has also served to assist students who are hearing impaired or who have had difficulty for one reason or another in following the the film as it was viewed. This gives them the opportunity to go back and fully appreciate the scene or scenes that perhaps they otherwise would have missed. I want to thank all of you for maintaining this wonderful site. This is the second year that I have used it in this portion of my English III class as a study resource. Thank you so much. [Name Omitted], Edinburg, Texas
