Probably the most effective way to find a blog that suits your needs is to visit the different websites that are focused on teaching and learning. Teachthought.com lists fifty-two education-related blogs that are worth a teacher's time.  Eschool News, Open Education Database and Education Week also have a list of blogs that they have reviewed and feel are important for educators.  In each case, these blogs are categorized to help you find exactly what you are looking for.

In chapter one of The Great Gatsby, what advice does Nick's father give him? How does this make him a good person to tell this story?

Nick says that his father advised him that, before "criticizing anyone," he "remember that all the people in this world haven't had the same advantages" as Nick.  As a result, Nick claims that he is "inclined to reserve all judgments," presenting himself to the reader as a fair and dispassionate arbiter of character, and thus, a reliable narrator.   The problem is that Nick immediately reveals himself as anything but reliable, as he then launches...
