Session 11

Syntheses: the publisher program would seem to have the best application for my senior English students- it is adult to them and would allow them with the right instruction to put together some very neat projects for the books we read.

Since we just finished Cuckoo's Nest i am thinking of an assessment in which their are two products. One would be a patient news publication, the other a staff news publication. it could serve as both a review or cheat sheet for the written test while at the same time pointing the concept of perspectives.

Tons of possible apps here for the students in my classes w/PowerP. Would love to see a proper PowerP presentation as an (oh boy) exemplar. I have sat through dozens and cannot remember ever seeing one where I didn't want to stick a knitting needle through my temporal lobe.
