Heading to Daytona for AP Reading - 3rd time :)


Looking forward to going to the reading. Taking pot luck on roomates this year...crossing my fingers. Takes me about two days to handle the pressure....what a great opportunity though.

Hoping to begin using a Kindle 2.0 before I go. Great way to read Steinbeck's novel [Grapes of Wrath]... this is my year to return to my creative self with more deep sea diving into activities and work for students. Not a snorkel year...

Been lost in minutia this past year as dept chair...book adoption...arrrrrrrg. I think we'll look at Kindles instead of books for next time...hm. Kids could buy outside reading books for $9.99 or just read from Gutenberg library.

Great Day!

Finally decided on The Grapes of Wrath as summer reading for AP Language and Composition. I'm incorporating Kelly Gallagher's ideas from Deeper Reading. Started a Facebook page and will have students create a facebook page for a character in the novel. Gotta go READ!
