[|Blogging Tutorial]

I choose this podcasting tutorial on blogging because it was a favorite project of mine. I had also introduced blogging as a reading contract assignment choice with my students. Some of who really enjoyed the process. This podcast would be good for any teacher who is interested in adding a new element into her classroom repertoire.

Understanding By Design Unit

The UBD unit was designed for a 6th grade Language Arts classroom with a focus on literary responses. The unit begins with a TeacherTube clip of a book report of __The Teacher's Funeral__ by Richard Peck and continues into such activities as writing a picture book and working through a WebQuest from using the story "Dragon, Dragon" by John Gardner.
