I would like to change the way my students keep track of their independent reading, eliminate a lot of paper, expand their reading choices, and allow them to give each other feedback on what they read. I also think it will help more reluctant readers find a greater diversity of reading material. I hope students who have a hard time finding reading material that interests them will be able to get ideas from students with similar tastes and interests.
I'm currently working on samples of the types of posts students can create. Ultimately I would like to grade them on three aspects of this project.
- The depth, creativity and analysis of their posts.
- The quality of their comments on their peer's blogs.
- The way that they link their blog to the web/on-line community.
