THE T.A. CAN CLICK ON "WILLIAM WORDSWORTH", THEN CLICK "TINTERN ABBEY". NEXT, REDUCE THE SIZE OF THAT PAGE, OPEN A NEW FILE, UNDER "HISTORY" CLICK THE WORDSWORTH PAGE AGAIN, PLACE IT BESIDE THE "TINTERN ABBEY" PAGE, AND BEGIN THE "LECTURE" WHEN STUDENTS ARE READY.
Thanks for YOUR CONTINUED GOOD WORK.
