Sample Assignments

I decided to post a couple of previously submitted work samples to give you an idea of what the final project should look like. I showed these in the Corpus class, but in San Antonio I had problems getting them to load. So here are two. The first is a prezi, and I will just give you the URL:

Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford

This beautiful book is about the end of World War II in California and how the Japanese were taken to the internment camps.  Henry Lee is the boy telling the story and is Chinese and his parents send him to an American school and make him wear a sign that says "I am Chinese" which most people ignore.  He is bullied in school and at home must speak only English (even though his parents don't understand English).  Life sucks for Henry Lee, until one day Japanese Keiko Akabe starts at his…

Skeleton Creek by Patrick Carman

This book did a great job of telling Ryan's story and then viewing the mystery through Sarah's videos. There was just the right amount of tension to give you that creepy, scary feeling throughout the whole book. I didn't really like the ending, but I will want to read the other books to follow old Joe Bush's ghost and his leg that he drags...A great book for kids who like mysteries, horror and the reluctant reader will enjoy the length, Ryan's journal entries, his pictures and the notes he…

Secondary FE Reflection

What in particular did you like?

I really enjoyed being part of the library community at Doherty. It's really interesting to see all of the tasks that are thrown at librarians at a high school. I had no idea the breadth of opportunities and requirements that LTEs in…

Heroin Diaries appropriate for high school?

I just bought the Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx thinking it would be a great resource for health class book reports. I had no idea it was so graphic but I hate to take it off the shelves because it's so good. My temporary solution has been permission slips but I don't want to have permission slips for every questionable book. I also recently bought the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but I've just been warning kids that it has a violent rape scene in it and if their parents wouldn't approve of them… Continue

Wikipedia Is NOT Wicked!





Hi, My name is Gwyneth and I use Wikipedia every day.

There, I said it. Somehow that's pretty freeing! Wikipedia is NOT a dirty word. We're doing a disservice not teaching our kids HOW to use it and how to cite it...as in - ummm selectively & with forethought. Sadly, I don't believe teachers & college…
