Well, this will be exciting to see whether any teachers are interested in taking this on. I remember when students in sixth grade were reading Hatchet, or Margaret Petersen Haddix's "Running Out of Time" (one of my favorites!) I couldn't wait to see their journals and what they were thinking about the characters and the story, what connections they were making to their own lives.
But what a pain to lug home all those journals! I had two big bags reserved just for the honor of carting journals home! My family would groan when I walked through the door with "the BAGS!" The thought of being able to just go to a student's blog site and get their thoughts in "real-time" is pretty exciting!
