AR Ideas

What a day! We had book talks by students in every class period. Nineteen books were covered, some more than once. Among the list of talked about books were both familuar titles and a couple of new titles. Several series were promoted by student readers: The Harry Potter Series, The Shadow Children Series, The Maxium Ride Series, Houns and Me and of course The Twilight Series. A few of the individual titles recommended by students included: Blind Faith, Lilys Crossing, Touching Spirit Bear, Eldest, Everlost, Crush, Abarat, Nothing But the Truth, The Sign of the Beaver, Vladimir Tod and Paint the Wind.

We also reviewed craft and literary terms and genre today. Study guides are due tomorrow.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
