Thing #17 Twitter

I found two activities that I would like to attempt this year. They are

1. Book ListsCreate a classroom Twitter account and use it for book recommendations.
2. Bonus/Fun   HomeworkTweet a bonus or fun assignment at night, like "bring me a drawing of a snail" and give students a small prize or sticker.

 My daughter and I have been going to the public library this summer and may I say, "What a resource!" I used to go to the public library often while I was in school but I do not have the time to just roam and see what is available. But I wanted to keep my daughter up in her fluency over the summer so that she did not lag behind. As she sat there contently reading one of her "choosen" books, I decided to check out a few things while I was there. I would like to encourage more reading in my room other than what we have to read as part of the curriculum. This would be a great way to involve parents and students in challenging them to go the public library and find of the books on my list. They would give me a small summary/report using whatever they choose (ie. vocal recording, pencil/paper, etc.)
