there are a couple of mistakes on the ppt. the slide with marge's hair should say 'curly' hair instead of straight. the F2 gen slide with milhouse and lisa has a major mistake in the top box of the diamond. it should be SS, not Ss. hopefully folks edited this before showing it to their students. i'm sure it's engaging for the kids, but let's make sure to give out correct info. from ksis3, 15 April 2012 |

A great resource for my lower ability students. It captures the imagination without being overly content heavy. from hduff, 25 March 2012 |
