[LIT] collaboration?

[Bill IVEY]

Hi!

My students will be reading a choice of "Romeo and Juliet," "West Side
Story" and "Antigone" in February. Are there any schools out there who
would be interested in participating in an online collaborative study with
us?

We did this two years ago with one of Lynn Gannett's classes in Alberta,
Canada. Lynn and I jointly came up with writing prompts to which kids in
both classes responded. We also came up with questions based on the
"Mosaic of Thought" reading strategies, again to which kids in both
classes responded. They were also allowed/encouraged to respond to each
other's writings. It was fun and successful, and something I'd like to try
again.

We don't actually start classes until Friday, and since my students help
design most of our units, I don't yet know what else we'll be reading.

Thanks!

Take care,
