Ideas for posts...

Last week, we talked about requirements for blogs (see "Literacy Blogs" handout). This week, I want to see you create your own post that satisfies some requirement mentioned on the handout. Here are some ideas for your post...or, come up with your own! 1. Journal/Diary entry from main character's perspective. 2. Compare/Contrast different texts. 3. Write a book review- tell what you thought about the book and persuade people to either read it or not to read it. 4. Write/draw an "open mind" activity where the audience gets a sense of what is going on in the mind of the main character. 5. Post a playlist for your main character. 6. Write about an event in the book from the point of view of another character than the main character. 7. Create an alternate ending that makes sense to the story (kind of like a "what if?"). 8. Think about what might have happened after the end of the book...you could even fast forward 10 years and write about what you think your characters are doing in the future. Or, if you come up with something else, check with me to okay it.
