In education, boxes can prevent

Joyce and Ken’s NEW law of physics:Boxes must be opened!*
*Exception: those in your basement or attic from Weddings long past
From Joyce’s blog:
Yancey suggests students who use Web 2.0 tools
• get the power of networking,
• their ability to contribute,
• their ability to reach audience.
Educators must take responsibility for imagining new ways to channel students’ energy for writing for more serious and more worthy purposes.
We should acknowledge new types of composition with new energy anddevelop a new composing agenda.
Too many boxes in our schools
remain closed too tight.

Book discussion with author
8th graders moderated 6 schools with author George Harrar– How do we appropriately introduce an author in one minute?– How do we create a frame for discussion from multiple sites?– What do we need to know about obsessive compulsive disorder to be
able to discuss the protagonist’s conflict?– How can we do it better next time?– Next year more cross-school discussions

What about . . .?
Hope is the Thing with Feathers
Emily Dickinson
"Hope" is the thing with feathersThat perches in the soulAnd sings the tune without the wordsAnd never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;And sore must be the stormThat could abash the little birdThat kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest landAnd on the strangest sea,Yet never, in extremity,It asked a crumb of me.
