A Digital Unit
Go to the link listed above and check out Miss Boeser's unit in which she involves her students in authentic writing activities, role play, creative dramatics, and Web 2.0 creativity. Follow the links to the articles she provides; analyze the scaffolding assignments in which she engages her students with the project and leads them to higher order critical thinking. As you work through this website, draw up for yourself an outline of its design so that you might be able to create one of your own on a future literature unit that you might teach. Post on this blog what you have learned about the value of such use of Web 2.0 in teaching English language arts. In case you lose the url, or want to check out other digital units, they can be found at the CEE Literature Resources page, http://constructingidentities.pbwiki.com/

Talk about intimidating! This is absolutely amazing. I am certain that I am not tech savvy enough to create anything like this for my classroom. Not yet, anyway! I loved the instructor-created high school - Maui High School - Home of the Tikis. I think this approach to teaching will definitely work. Was VERY disappointed that I could not get the link to Books Recommended for College Bound Students to open. Would have loved to have seen what was there. Also - what the heck does the word solipsistic mean? I've never heard for it!
