As sad as it makes me, my kids still aren't able to reach Ms. Lalk's Booktalks @ school without my putting in the password every time they press enter. So I've moved to http://numberingtheboneslalk.wikispaces.com/ for now. I will have it directly linked to my homepage. It is a place where students anonymously provide feedback on questions I post about Numbering the Bones, NightJohn, their current social studies curriculum of the Civil War, and even discuss History Day. The students have a daily question regarding connections we're covering, and they will answer anonymously as it is online, print their response, add name, and be done! Students may opt not to use a computer, (media), but to write the answer as well. I thought this might make it a bit more fun as we near the end of the year!
It is important that with each entry, students make either a text, self, media, or world connection to something in this course of study--print it out and submit for a grade, (the questions foster the understanding of the book and concepts, and this is where they'll put their name). Sounds complicated, but we're going to have a great time!
