Wow! I looked at the download statistics for my Scribd documents and was amazed to see that 292 people viewed my unfinished Dead Poets Society Teaching Unit this month. I wonder how many people would view it if it were actually finished. Here’s a roundup of my top 5 documents, sorted by total number of views:
- 15 Mammoth Books for Teens – I’m not sure why, but this is my most popular document, with 494 views.
- ROMAN Reading: 5 Practical Skills for Transforming Your Life through Literature – My ebook has been viewed 421 times since I released it three months ago.
- Dead Poets Society Teaching Unit – 292 views since August 1
- 300+ Recommended Books for Junior High Students – This was the second most viewed document in August with over 250 views. Update: This link will not work because of a copyright allegation. See this post for more information. (August 27, 2007, 3:50 PDT) Update #2: Scribd has re-enabled the list after not hearing back from the SFWA about my counter-notification.

- Chronological Middle-earth Reading List – 169 people viewed this document in August
Scribd is a great place to share your documents with the rest of the world. Why not upload some of your homemade teaching materials and make them available for other teachers to use?
When are you done with your Dead Poets teaching unit. It’s really good. I would like to use it in my class, and were starting next week. I work at a boarding school in Denmark.
Hope you are done soon.
Sincerely yours Caroline
Caroline: I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment until today–it slipped under my radar. It’s going to be a while before I finish the unit, I’m afraid, but I have definite plans to finish it. It may have to wait until next summer, the way my life is right now. Thanks for the encouraging words, though; you make me want to get back to working on it.
Dear Nick,
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Susanne Ongkowidjaja. I am an English tutor at Pelita Harapan University in Indonesia. This summer I intend to teach a course entitled Literature through Film.
The teaching unit on Dead Poets Society that you posted on the web seems perfect for my English literature summer course. Have you finished the unit? If so, could you send me a copy of the completed unit, please? I am looking forward from you soon.
Regards,
Susanne
