I've just got to share the good stuff I read.

I love to read. I read every chance I get. If I read something really good, I want to share it with my friends and co-workers. I make copies of magazine articles, read aloud to my students, tell others about good books I'm reading, and keep a book with me at all times.

I love teaching and learning new things. I need a place to share some of the lessons and what my students and I learn. Since my teaching situation is different from everyone else's in my school, I would like to tell all of you in the blog-o-sphere about these great lessons.

Feel free to share what you are reading, teaching and learning with us in the comments.

A Wrinkle in Time Graphic Novel


I'm on a graphic novel kick with my older students at school. We read the graphic novel version of the first Percy Jackson novel. I was going to compare it to the movie and chapter book but the movie was just too different and combined a couple of the series into one movie.

I bought this graphic novel version of the classic A Wrinkle in Time. It is a very thick book. The original is quite complicated for English Learners to follow as a read aloud. I wasn't sure if they would like this version either.

Well, the first day I read this one of my newer boys commented when I finished the first chapter, "I like it!" This kid hardly ever likes anything. So I think this is a hit.

It is very close to the original version and the pictures make it easy to follow. This week end a local theater is presenting a live performance of the story. Some of the kids said they would go see the performance. Hope so.

What do you think of graphic novel versions of chapter books?
