On Friday morning I had the chance to visit Ross Anderson's classroom at Sligh Middle.  What a lively Plugged-in to Reading lesson was going on.  Mr. Anderson had the students listening to the CD of The Skin I'm In and taking notes, recording questions, and so forth, as a shared reading activity for the whole class.  Then they answered questions, discussed vocabulary, and ultimately read aloud the predictions they had made a week earlier when Mr. Anderson introduced the book.  Some of the students also shared their work on the "What does this face say to the world?" graphic organizer--if we can get a scan of one of these I will share it in the resources section.  The students were buzzing with their work on the "In other words" g/o; I learned some new slang myself.

I have set up a subscription at FeedBlitz that will allow community members to receive a notice when new items are posted with the tag "plugged-in."  If we all use this tag for our posts, we should get all the messages that concern Plugged-in to Reading.

Just click here to go to the subscription page.

I am posting to see if FeedBlitz picks this up and delivers it to my email.  I will let you know how to do this in a later post!

Missy Hughes and Lee Corey have been trading ideas about storage of players in Missy's blog.  I am posting this picture of the shoe organizer I found at Amazon for everyone's reference.  The ones I saw in Tampa had clear plastic holders rather than the canvas here.

 

If you click here, you can get a daily notification of any postings tagged "plugged-in" at the site by inserting an email address with FeedBlitz.

 This only works on posts that folks tag with "plugged-in" and (I believe) set as "public" in the access restrictions drop-down.

If you take a minute to tag your posts (and maybe even set the access at "public"), your input will be easier to find.

Here are the tags that I have put in for the Plugged-in to Reading community:

equipment, graphic organizer, guide, independent reading, janet allen, literature circle, plugged-in, storage, tampa, management, resource binder, matrices 

Let me know your suggestions and I will add them to the community profile.   You can put your own tags in your own profile and then when someone looks for folks with that particular interest, they will find you.

;-)

I have set it up so that this post in my blog should be fed into the community blog.  Let's see if it works!
