Thank you once again PLN! Posted by admin | Posted in Blogs | Posted on 07-06-2010 I have to thank my wonderful PLN who once again cheers me on and keeps me going when my life feels like the chaos will never end! Those of you who have signed up for the Educators Blogging Alliance, not to worry I still have the list and hope to get it all set up and sorted out this week. My original date for the launching of the second Blogging Alliance came and went. All I can say is that my plans for the end of the school year were much more ambitious than was actually feasible to accomplish. A number of changes is occurring in my life and several of you have asked me what is going on.

Language Arts. Early Literacy. Reading/Language Arts Lessons. The Power of Literature Circles in the Classroom. My six-year-old son has finally, really started reading. It's thrilling to watch him grab book after book off his overflowing shelves and read stories he's been hearing for years. Now he wants to take books to school so that during recess, he can entice his friends to sit together and read. He says it will be called the "Reading Club. " "I was in a book club once," I said, explaining how a group of friends read the same novel and then discussed it over dinner. My son loved the idea and immediately started brainstorming who he'd invite, when they'd meet, what they'd read, and what they'd eat. But the rabbit hole of nostalgia that I tumbled into was of my experience as a teacher facilitating literature circles. Why Literature Circles? I promise to provide practical resources on the how, when, where, what of lit circles, but let me first make a case for why every K-12 classroom should institute some version of literature circles.
Resources for the "Who, What, When, and Where" Writing Workshop. We call our writing workshop time 'Writers at Work'! It is a combination of approaches (between Kid Writing by Feldgus and Cardonick and the journal writing in The Teacher's Guide to Building Blocks by Hall and Williams). Procedures 1) Model for students The teacher: thinks aloud about possible ideas, draws a picture and orally discusses why certain elements are in the drawing (prewriting) decides what to write that corresponds to the picture does adult/book writing (with student assistance) 2) Student Writing Students: get their writing notebooks date their next clean pagethink about what they want to drawdraw their picturekid write (with and with out assistance) (Click here for a more detailed description.)Our Writing Notebook Paper (a printable in PDF Format) 3) Once finished, students look at books in the book basket at their table, reread their previous entries, or share their writing with an adult or other child at their table. 4) Clean up You sing it like a rap. 5) Pair Share.
How to start a Writer's Workshop (Elementary, Reading/Writing) The Ultimate Twitter Guidebook For Teachers. Twitter.education. Letting Twitter change the way we teach | Education IT | ZDNet.com. I read a great article last week titled "How to Present While People are Twittering". I was reminded of it today during an email conversation with ZDNet's resident social media guru, Jennifer Leggio. We were joking about Twitter and she said, Chris, you're becoming more obsessed with Twitter than I am. And that's sorta terrifying. I'll admit that Twitter has certainly caught my fancy and I continue to mull over ways to integrate it into classroom settings and make it both educationally appropriate and useful. No matter what Jennifer says, however, my mere 560 followers and 1200+ updates are a far cry from her almost 9000 followers and 20,000+ updates. Regardless of my Twitter inferiority, if we look at the tool itself, as I've noted before, it could be a viable (and even superior) tool versus interactive response systems.
As the author points out (I've cut out a bit here and taken liberties with bullets, but the text and ideas are all there),
