About Dragon Booktalk
Nov 18th, 2008 by mrwatsonsohs
Dragon Booktalk is managed by Mr. Adam Watson, English Teacher at South Oldham High School in Crestwood, Kentucky. If you talk to him long enough, you’ll learn that he loves Star Wars, adores his daughter, and is glad his wife is generous enough to allow him time to do academic projects like this. He learns more from listening to his student podcasts than at least three and a half college textbooks.
