As I am trying to sleep, I am kept awake by thoughts of my unit, Speak. I am currently puzzled about the ebook we can make for EDL 719. I know it is supposed to be supplement materials, but I am having a hard time figuring out what to put in it. Any ideas?????? I will teach literary terms, plot, characterization, MLA, copy right, and vocab with the book, but I am puzzled on what should go in this extra resource that I will not have time to cover in class. I really need ideas, please!!!!
The only idea I have is to create some kind of court case or hypothetical bullying instance that may be similar to the book. I can create a file that gives background information and clues.The idea would be to list suspects with clues and have students crack the case. I could have students present their findings and ideas to the class as a court case. Through deductive reasoning, I would expect students to figure out what the problem is and design a court case or possible appropriate punishment to be delivered to the class. I would have to give time in class for this, but it might be a fun side activity that brings in a real world connection. What do you think? Any other ideas, again, would be very helpful.
Don't stress out too much! I think that you are on the right track! You already have a lot of great supplemental ideas. I think that the ebook does not have to be a bunch of extra things that you create. You can also put all of the side items in there like the literary terms, plot, characterization, MLA, copy right, and vocab with the book. Then students have all of the relevant info for the unit in one compact resource.
