About Me:

I am a second year teacher enrolled in a Library Media Specialist program so I can add an endorsement to my list of teaching skills. My long term goal is to move into the library setting but I currently teach Communication Arts 10th-12th grade at Bethel High School.

I hate speeches, and I am definitely on the wrong side of this one. I hope I don't get booed and heckled. Thanks, Mark

I started working on our book challenge. It was hard to find the information on the North Thurston site, so here is the link if you haven't found it. Thanks, Mark

I will have a draft of my bulleted argument by next week. My email address is mgudger@comcast.net. Please email me so I have your email address, so I can send you my part.
Thanks, Mark
Sorry it took me so long to respond I have been studing for the Praxis. I will take the test on the 26th.

They will have such experiences in their own lives, and the sooner they know that everything is research, the better! I do think the internet has changed this idea of research a lot, though. I used to think of it as getting the magazine (after weeks of waiting) from the librarian, or taking notes from a book ,but now they "google it" and that is research too, but they don't call it that. what do they call it? googling?

At 8:22pm on July 7, 2008, Mark said…: I have read most of the Harry Potter series, but it has been awhile. Because there are seven different books, it might serve us better to focus on “Tango Makes Three” because it was the most challenged book of 2006 and 2007. I think that the arguments for and against this book are more clear cut, too. What do you think? I have not actually read this picture book, but have read a lot about it. Here is a link:
