Great start, Jeff! You've got the necessary pages set up and linked them on the home page and on the SideBar -- good! Suggestions: Add a link back to the home page on the SideBar as well. PBworks used to call it Frontpage; now it's just called Wiki--well, it could be clearer! Also, please remember that you need to finish the home page as the project for Week 1. Probably you'll be doing that after you return from your weekend outing in Afghanistan. As the Wiki owner, you can delete this comment after reading it.

I loved the video of the "talking dog" Mishka! Amazing! Great question for students to find another idiom, but not knowing American idioms, where would they find them? How about providing some links? I searched YouTube for "tricks up your sleeve" and found a good one!
