Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Bruce After this slide, go to Wiki and play video.
  2. Review what video said Use a blog to get kids to talk to each other in a controlled environment http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,2542,t=social+network&i=55313,00.aspBridget
  3. Bridget
  4. BruceStudents like working onlineStudents like interacting & networking; it enhances the communication experience for them
  5. BruceBlogs offer different points of view from cultures that speak the same languageIncorporates kinesthetic elementsSpecial Needs kids don’t feel put on the spot – write online with no visible differenceStudents read real reading materials from real writers – reflecting how language is actually usedThere will be a blog topic on every topic and interestStudents are motivated b/c they are writing for a real readership and they learn to edit and rewrite. This empowers students.
  6. BridgetCasual tone – Students tend to write without conventionsBad writing gets reinforced b/c everyone writes casuallySome students feel uncomfortable writing in publicTeachers have hard time correcting blogs; therefore, bad writing habits may formSome students do not have access to technologySome teachers have difficulty with new technology. Need time to learn technology; Teachers already feel overburdened.Need to set up accounts and have to moderate comments
  7. BridgetTalk to GoodReads, LibraryThing, and ShelfariSocial networking sites that allow for discussion about books. 
  8. (online databases like Gale Student Resource Center,  Booklist, School Library Journal, Horn Book, etc.)user-submitted - (i.e. Amazon.com)  you do not want to miss something like a genre or style previously unknown to you (i.e. metafiction or magic realism)Best reviews do all 3Bruce
  9. Art of book review -  ; it''s a persuasive essay like what students write for the NJASK.Young reviewers tend to give away too much.Haven't mastered the art of hooking. They have mastered the art of telling.Students are sometimes afraid to share their true opinion because grades are at stake, and Students are accustomed to providing what is expected, not what they really feel or thinkMany Students think it's hard to make text-to-world, text-to-text, and text-to-self connections. Librarians and teachers must model this.If you are not ready to write book reviews, do not try this lesson with your class. You will have to write book reviews that the whole class has read. Try working with children's books, or a book you have read together, or that year's summer reading selection (if applicable).  Bruce
  10. This is the metacognitive part.  Very important. Realistic. Not artificial.Get SAT models to show kids samplesNJASK samples and other samples are online demonstrating the different rubric levelsStudent centered learningStudents own their ideas and are excited about sharing them; restricting their conversations does more harm than not doing the exercise at allwe need to allow them to see things we do not see in ways that we could not duplicate because of our different schema, experience, and education.
  11. Brucequotes - , an unquestionably important skill at almost any age.protagonist - --whether or not we like the novel often begins with the protagonist
  12. This is the part people will agree and disagree about; this is the part they will blog on Does the author avoid a deus ex machina ending? Does the novel end realistically in a way that clearly results from the pre-climax action? 
  13. Set up decorum for bloggingBruce and Bridget
