Welcome!!!!

Welcome to Lit's Blog, where all things literary are fair game! As a middle school Language Arts teacher, one of the many things I'll be using this forum for is to share my opinions on books, both Young Adult, and otherwise, that I've recently read, and hope that you'll jump into the fray with your thoughts, as well! Please visit often, as I'll be adding regularly. Just scan the titles of each blog for the book's name, and let me know what you think!

(Parents: At the end of each blog, you'll find a "book rating", based upon the MPAA ratings (see link entitled "MPAA Ratings Guide"). Since I generally try to read whatever the kids seem to be reading, and encourage my students to read a wide menu of texts, do not be surprised if you see an "R" rating on a title, or two. I will do my best to be as accurate as possible - HOWEVER, this rating is intended only as a guide. Ultimately, it is your decision as to whether your child should read the titles listed, or not.)

Thing #10 Revisited

Okay - had a little more luck this time. I don't know what is going on with my connection, but for some reason, I just couldn't get to some pages the other day. ANYWAY, here's my contribution for the Image generator. I can see all kinds of applications for this tool. Kids can use it as a response to something they've read. I also wondered if these could be inserted into a powerpoint or PhotoStory, and then turned into a Podcast. Something to play with in the future...

I don't think anyone has previously mentioned using this tool for students to respond to something they have read. That sounds wqell worth exploring. Thanks!
