Blogging Lit Circles

The lastest "Tech Project" is blogging with Literature Circles. So far it is going realllllllllllyyyyyy well. The engagement is really high. Rather than reams of handouts to correct, I know how tons of blog postings... at least it's less strain on my back and trees! I have the documents on my classroom blog. I uploaded all the handouts using docstoc.com and now the kids can just download the information for the roles and blog journals as they need them. I am really excited about the project. You can check out what we have been doing on Literature Circles page of stewiessmartthoughts.blogspot.com.

The blogging with Cpl. Hamelin (peace keeper in Sudan) is really connecting well with the uprisings in the Middle East and our Social Studies unit.
