Greetings!
I have a fairly short post for this week. I just got an idea for book reviews. So many times students do their assignments halfheartedly since no one really cares or sees them again. BUT . . . . what if you had them write out their book review and then post them on Amazon.com? They would be visible for others to see. Their opinions would help others when deciding to read that book or not. They would need to write it out first so it could be edited for punctuation and grammar, then typed into the Amazon website.
With one assignment students are composing, editing, using keyboarding skills, and internet skills.
If you or the parents of your students feel uncomfortable with the internet part of the assignment, one parent could enter the information for the students. Names can be pseudonyms to protect children’s identities.
What do you think? Can you think of any problems that I have missed? I like this because it can go for any age.
Have a great week.
Audrey
