A record of one teacher researcher's questions, problems, ideas, and adventures with students and book clubs. Friday, November 9, 2007. Cindy is Seeping into my Classroom Beyond Book Club. This evening I received the following e-mail from one of my students:. We should discuss this in class. I feel like we don't get enough oportunity. In school to talk about political stuff. Thinking can really get kids thinking and off their butt. It did for me. Also, here's the usury thing. The Merchant of Venice.

blogessor: April 2007

Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Hi, kiddies, guess who I am today: teacher or researcher or both? Wow, I have so. Much to say that I can't blog it all in one entry (SIDE NOTE: I'm trying to give myself permission to write shorter entries so that I'll post more regularly :). In fact, this entry started out as a comment on Rebecca's. Blog that was just going on far too long. Incidentally, you should go read that entry. Because it's a really good one. You manage the observant researcher with the dutiful teacher?

We begin our work with establishing the foundation for book clubs next week. I'm both excited and overwhelmed. Overwhelmed because I have too much to do and not enough hours in the day! One of my plans for tomorrow as students are typing up their exams is to create their groups for our first round of book clubs without books. I'll use m...

http://rebeccasresearchblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/quick-update.html
A record of one teacher researcher's questions, problems, ideas, and adventures with students and book clubs. Wednesday, October 24, 2007. I have been busy with all sorts of meetings and commitments, so the blog has been on the back burner. I promised a quick update, so this will be quick. Great insight. This looks like one of those ancillary ideas that I've encountered myself. Kind of the hmmm, this isn't what I'm looking at but I can't drop it! I know I would be interested in the group dynamic issue...

A record of one teacher researcher's questions, problems, ideas, and adventures with students and book clubs. Thursday, April 26, 2007. I'm really worried about my book group.".

A record of one teacher researcher's questions, problems, ideas, and adventures with students and book clubs. Tuesday, August 7, 2007. OK, it isn't really a problem, but I can never pass up the opportunity to overuse alliteration. :). As I am sketching out my first semester and deciding how book clubs will fit into my scheme, I could use some advice and fresh ideas. Inevitably, I end up repeating myself or leaving something out.

A record of one teacher researcher's questions, problems, ideas, and adventures with students and book clubs. Thursday, October 4, 2007. What a difference a day can make! No-Book Book Clubs were a surprise to me today! Just when I was feeling discouraged and ready to throw in the towel, the students surprise me with some insightful comments or reports about their discussions from yesterday. They still have me curious about a few things though. Any thoughts from the art teacher? Here is my disclaimer, you...

A record of one teacher researcher's questions, problems, ideas, and adventures with students and book clubs. Friday, November 2, 2007. Thinking Inside a Pumpkin. As you can see, the Mapping the Territory of Your Text Project. I will say that I am excited by this project for several reasons:. 2 Students for the first time have been able to articulate more about how and why they made a connection or didn't make a connection with a text. (Interesting note: at times groups claim they didn't connect, but...
