Monsters, Inc.: Movie Review

(Movie Reviews--Disney Animated Movies, Thoughts after Rewatching)

As I mention in the video, this is a rewatch.  However, since this is my first time reviewing it on this blog, according to my new rules, it gets a video only review.

Augustus Caesar's World by Genevieve Foster: Book Review

(Book Review--History, Rereads, Young Adult Literature)

Started: January 27, 2026

As noted in the video, this is a reread.  I first read it in 7th grade.  But, since this is my first time reviewing this book on this blog, according to my new rules, it gets a video only review.

Augustus Caesar's World by Genevieve Foster: Book Review

Notes: As I mentioned in the video, this book is advertised as a history, but much of it reads as historical fiction.  So I'm also going to add it to my historical fiction index.  Also, as also mentioned in the video, a lot of this book is about religion.  So I'm also going to add it to my religion index.

I got caught off at the very end when my camera automatically shut off, but I had said most of what I wanted to say.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein: ESL Listening

(TESOL Worksheets--Poems ESL Listening)

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein: poems

Video: https://youtu.be/7LHQrb_ld2s

There is a place where the sidewalk ends

and before the street begins,

and there the grass grows soft and white,

and there the sun burns crimson bright,

and there the moon-bird rests from his flight

to cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black

and the dark street winds and bends.

Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow

we shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow

and watch where the chalk-white arrows go

to the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,

and we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,

for the children, they mark, and the children, they know,

the place where the sidewalk ends.
