I *think* this is an earlier draft---I have been making some small revisions as I have been teaching it, but those are saved at school (for now) and I am home. But this is the gist of it Comments are welcome if you read it So far, my only beta-readers were another teacher, and the four 10-12 year olds I have been using it with for enrichment French

You know, I thought that my request to Zelda to selectively edit Ralph Sir Edward's posts to make him look like a Left Wing Looney was perfectly reasonable, but nooooo....

We considered it. But splitting infinitives is just not reasonable... Sorry.

Lucky you, BadGoodDeb. I've just got several for laptop cases. Perhaps they are suitable receptacles for parrots pining for the Fjords. But I doubt it.

Pinin' parrots don't go in cases. They go in cages, with their feeties nailed to the perches. This is a long-standing precedent.
