Enjoy your Mardi Gras break!

Upon returning from Mardi GRAS break, we will be learning how to write our own multimedia book! This is a revolutionary practice that will make you all ground breakers of sorts! I hope to work along side Mrs. Henley and Mrs. Tschudy to line up our curriculum goals with the information you are already learning in class. We will be doing extended research, and learn how to use that research to write exciting text for others to use in the regular classroom! This will require you to ask questions, record science experiments, interview experts, etc. We will use all of this information to write our texts as we go. You will each be assigned a blog that is yours. You will use those blogs as a rough draft writing center for others to critique. You will use our class blog as a source for assignments, resources, and prompts.

Get ready for an exciting return! Practice your keyboarding skills over te break so we can make progress more quickly!

  1. Hi Anthony, I'm Jessica La Force, and I'm in EDM 310. I really enjoyed reading over your blog. I like that you connect with your student's through blogging. I would have thought that was so cool when I was younger. I think you're going to make a great teacher! If you would like to visit my blog you can go here.

  2. Hello,
    My name is Kasey Mooney. I am a student in EDM 310 at the University of South Alabama.
    I just want to say that this project sounds really interesting. It involves two of my favorite things: books and writing. I think this is a really good project for students to do to help with creative writing and thinking. I know that I will consider doing this project when I have my own class some day.I know getting all the information, interviews, experiments and drafts together will take a little time, along with putting it all together. So, what is the time span that you give the students to do this project? I would really like to hear more about this project.
