Literature Circle bloggin3/27/
 | Will Richardson's website |
I wanted to find a way to start my 7th grade students blogging in a safe enviroment.Since I teach reading I thought that I could use Literature Circles and have the students do a weekly blog.I wanted to give my students real life opportunities for writing and reading. I read Will Richardson's Book and found it very helpful to clarify my thinking and setting up my integrated project.If I believe that blogging is important then I need to do it myself, so I have started a blog. I chose to use that as the medium to present this integrated project.
I searched various websites to find a blogging website that parents and students would feel comfortable using and it would met the needs I was looking for. Nicenet.org met that need. Our tag students needed the opportunity to chose their own books rather than read the grade level novels, so I felt that Literature Circles would accomplish that. But I also wanted the students to have the opportunity to blog online about their books. This is my evalutation of the project. My blog. For those interested, here are the Literature Circle entries that I wanted my students to answer.Download file
