changelog @ tengrrl.com: August 15 Content Report

We turn in content reports for ReadWriteThink on the 1st and the 15th of each month, so today I did the last-minute work to get the report turned in. The report lists the lesson plans that were published since the 1st of the month and the never-ending pile of broken links. In addition, I finished editing the September calendar, and we added two sites to the Web Resources Gallery:

Revising Himself : Walt Whitman and Leaves of Grass
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/whitman-home.html
This Library of Congress exhibition traces this evolution of Leaves of Grass and Walt Whitman's life, tapping a range of editions and drafts of the famous work. A wealth of interesting biographical material on Whitman, his friends and associates, his work as a teacher, tending the wounded during the Civil War, and for the federal government, also appears in the exhibit.
