Teacher Bibliography
On Tricksters:
Hyde, Lewis. Trickster Makes this World. New York: Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 1998.
A fantastic resource, but not the most exciting book I've ever read. He sure likes to focus on the consumption of body parts. The appendices were most helpful.
Reesman, Jeanne Campbell, ed. Trickster Lives: Culture and Myth in American Fiction. Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2001.
This is a great book. She has compiled a who's who of experts on trickster in literature.
, the Free Encyclopedia (2006). "Trickster" Last Accessed June 25, 2006 at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickster
I really love this website. It is the best online encyclopedia and the fact that its readers help to write the entries means the entries are more specialized.
Heiner, Heidi Anne (2006), SurLaLune Fairy Tales. Last Accessed July 13, 2006 at http://www.surlalunefairytales.com
This is a great online reference. It contains information on most every tale known. It also contains the full text of several stories.
On Bloom's Taxonomy:
Clark, Donald (1999). Learning Domains or Bloom's Taxonomy. Last accessed
June 25, 2006 at http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/bloom.html
A basic primer on Bloom's Taxonomy.
On Writing the Research Paper:
Grand Valley State University (2004). Research Skills Tutorial. Last accessed June 25, 2006 at http://www.gvsu.edu/library/webtutor2/intro/intro1.htm
A great resource for students and a good refresher for teachers teaching the research paper for the first or 200th time.
Lester, James D. Citing Electronic Sources in MLA Style. Last accessed June 25, 2006 at http://www.apsu.edu/~lesterj/CYBER3.HTM#World%20Wide%20Web%20Site
A must for all on citing websites in a research paper.
