Ideas

Here's a place to share some of those fantastic ideas you have that others might be able to use (steal). Sometimes ideas slap you in the face and other times they simmer quietly... so if you have an idea... share! (We're all better for it!)

I ([|Mrs. Sheldon]) stole the idea of wiki book reports from SWC Geek Girl. You can see my ninth grade students' work (of the expected variety in quality) by visiting the AVHS-Omega-English wikispace. This individual/interlinked project went fairly well, while the tenth grade [|literary group] discussion pages where less successful. A blog site would have been a better starting place for the group discussion project. Both sets (9th and 10th) linked their pages to the [|master index]. My current twelfth graders are using a wiki page as a links [|bulletin board] for their individual blogs. The set up was a bit rocky, but it's now helpful for finding each other's thoughts.
