Hi, I am new to this but thought you all could help me out. I teach a mutlimedia unit on the Holocaust in Language Arts grade 8. I am looking to make this more dynamic by inviting others to join our class. I use a room through nicnet.org ( free and terrific for those interesting in linking computers for writing). I wanted to try a reading circle group using Holocaust literature and students from other schools. Each book is pretty short 100-180 pages and are set up for lots of discussions. I have alist of titles and would share with any interested. I am also looking for students to work on writing with us in nicenet.org where students could provide each other feedback about the various things they are working on. If anyone is interested or knows anyone. Please let me know. marymeehan@cableone.net or through this. Although I fear it does not always work right.
Thanks for your help.
