The new Common Core standards state that 9th graders must, "Use technology, including the internet, to produce, publish, and update individual or shared writing products, taking advantage of technology's capacity to link to other information and to display information flexibly and dynamically." Therefore, you will be creating a "Book Blog" of sorts to highlight books you are reading or have read. You will use this blog to review books you have read, set reading goals, make real-world connections to books, find new texts to read, and engage in real-world blogging. You will have a chance to link to other students' independent reading blogs, comment, and make new discoveries throughout the school year! Maybe you will like it so much, you will continue blogging about books after freshmen year has ended!
Way to link to the Common Core State Standards, Mrs. Palmer! You are a super star.
ReplyDeleteI can't take credit. Ashley totally created the assignment sheet and everything!
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using blogs as a space for students to review books they've read!
