I teach in Georgia. This is hilarious and so relevant. I'm going to pretend like I know you and show it to my classes tomorrow. :) I'm sure this took you a long time, so I thank you.

@czidow1 and here I was thinking that we *did* know each other all along. Say hello to your classes for me. --jdh

This video cuts short at the end. Any way to repair this? I'm thinking about showing this in my classroom in a few weeks.

@auspiciousarmadillo -- the very last sentence in part 1 is something like "and then they returned back to nature..." Nature is the only word missing--and it picks right back in up in American Lit, Quick and Dirty - Part 2. Hope your class enjoys it!

ahh i see part one, when can we expect part 2?

[jamesdhogan]

part two's audio is complete, and now all that's left is adding the visual elements, a time-consuming process. hopefully will be posted online in the next couple of weeks.

[stayneknaveofhearts]

watched this in English and loved it. :)

[zakiemon]

Very funny, watched this in my English 3 class today.

[passionphd]

Kind of funny and well intentioned, but totally wrong in all the information it gives, save that much early literature was comprised of letters and journals.... Any instructor that shows this is only trying to curry favor with students, and doing them a big disservice. Who would ever take an early American lit class after seeing this?!
