Comment on Book Review: The Hunger Games by Molly

Wow. I was barely able to put this book down for a second after the first few pages got me completely hooked. Suzanne Collins narrative here has an immediacy to it that, when combined with the very dramatic life-or-death plot, is incredibly compelling. It’s entertaining, and incredibly disturbing all at once. Suzanne Collins has, with one amazing work, propelled herself onto my top shelf.

Have a nice day,
Molly

Comment on Book Review: Gregor the Overlander by Mrs. McGriff

I thought this series got better–at least more intense in its portrayal of war–as it went along. Gregor has to face some truths about himself and ask just how far is too far.

Thanks Kevin. I have this unit percolating, but haven’t yet put it into my planner. I appreciate reading your perspective and will take a look at the resources on CommonSenseMedia.

I love your design tips, we have been doing these for about a month now and it is always a challenge to get students to ask the question, “Does my visual design enhance or hinder my message?” Love the examples and non examples, I am going to do that next week with my kiddos as they finish their glog pages on characters.. Thanks

I loved doing Glogster with my students, & so did they! It’s just a new good way to organize and present information, & if needed, they print well too. Thanks for your tips in design!

Thanks for sharing Kevin! I shared this post with my 6th grade language arts teacher. The 6th grade social studies and Hawaiian studies teacher both use glogster, so they can do more teaming.

Happy digital learning day!
Cathy
