I was thinking of how to use wikis in my room and I wanted to do something that my students could create from start to finish. I was thinking it might be interesting to create a wiki for the entire third grade where students can post information about books they have read. They could tell other students what the book was about in hopes of recommending the book to others. This would encourage students to discuss books more.
I did find a wiki where students can read books online, http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikijunior, but I am looking for where they can analyze the book. Plus I still think the books on this site are too advanced for my students.

i like your idea of having a wiki for the entire grade where the students can suggest books. with a wiki someone else that read the book can add to what the first author already put up. great idea.
ReplyDeleteI like this idea... It sounds like a good blog idea to me too... Depending on how you approach it. I like the idea of a literature circle group using a wiki as an ongoing project.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the books are way too advanced for 3rd graders. I wish they had chapter books for 3rd graders.
