THING #10

This thing was fun. I looked at all the generators listed, and I was so impressed with all of their possibilities. I ended up posting a cartoon from the comic strip generator (www.comicstripgenreator.com) and a trading card from the trading card maker (www.bighugelabs.com). On the negative side, I did spend several hours trying to post a Wordle I created. I still don't know what I did wrong, and since I am here in the far-off land of the 2A school Tolar with no other players, I didn't have anyone to help me. However, I am going to ask our tech person when I get back to school to help me, because I am determined to get that on there!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I continue to think about all the ways I can use this in my junior English class to try and incorporate more non-fiction reading and workplace writing situations into my class. I know the kids would love doing these things. The key is for me to be able to apply them.

As far as literature, of course the kids could make trading cards for characters in a story or play, use them for review purposes, and create images to decorate our classroom or a portfolio.

Thanks for letting me see all this!
