		<description><![CDATA[Here are my lesson plans for the last 4 weeks.  This takes you through the reading &#38; responding to the text from start to finish&#8230; everything leading up to the first Literary Analysis assignment, which I&#8217;ll deal with in my next post.

		<title>Lesson Plan Ideas &#8211; CUBING</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay foxes, I&#8217;m not ashamed to say it &#8211; I buy into the gimmicky stuff.  Mix a little Bloom&#8217;s Taxonomy, some paper and glue&#8230; maybe a few poker chips, blend, bake and serve up as a lesson plan.

During one of my grad school classes, we had to create a lesson using a strategy called [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=esaliterature.wordpress.com&blog=1644299&post=29&subd=esaliterature&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>LBB Week One &#8211; ingredients for great lessons!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We had a great week in Little BIG Books&#8230;  Our lessons were really varied and engaging - I&#8217;ve never seen a roomful of students work so diligently and so passionately over found poems &#8211; especially during WEEK ONE!  (that was so inspired, foxy!)  Superfox did a great lesson with images drawn from page one of the story, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=esaliterature.wordpress.com&blog=1644299&post=26&subd=esaliterature&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day 1 Scenarios</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first foray into blogging, foxes. I&#8217;ve got quite a ways to go to catch up to Afro Fox. Actually, this is kind of a response to Afro Fox&#8217;s last post, but I wanted to share the activity we&#8217;ll be doing in AS 1 tomorrow. Foxy Fox came up with the brilliant idea of giving [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=esaliterature.wordpress.com&blog=1644299&post=24&subd=esaliterature&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Day One Activity for Author Study</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Foxy proposed something cool for day one&#8230; Sort of based on the strategies lesson plan from Opening Project.  We provide a series of scenarios drawn from the core texts, and give them two possible courses of action.  Students then consider which option they would choose (or come up with a resonable alternative).  I think this is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=esaliterature.wordpress.com&blog=1644299&post=13&subd=esaliterature&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dialectical Reading Journals</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ So I&#8217;ve been researching Dialectical Journals, and I&#8217;ve found some interesting stuff.  Here&#8217;s an overview:
Purpose
Journaling pushes students to consider the material they&#8217;re reading more deeply, and to construct their own meaning from the text.  It can also help students clarify plot details and the significance of specific events in a story. 
Reading student journals then gives [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=esaliterature.wordpress.com&blog=1644299&post=18&subd=esaliterature&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Little BIG Books &#8211; Week One</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hey Foxes:
Are we all assigning reading for homework on day one?  How do we feel about some kind of written response as a do-now on Tuesday to encourage accountability?  I&#8217;m setting up folders for all of my students like I did last year, and my sections are color-coded&#8230; so I&#8217;m wondering how the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=esaliterature.wordpress.com&blog=1644299&post=15&subd=esaliterature&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hemingway Resources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found a great resource from PBS on Hemingway and the Lost Generation&#8230; we should consider using some of this stuff at the Hemingway station when students are considering their Author Study options next week.  And/or we can use it at some point during the term when they&#8217;re conducting their research.

		<title>Proposal for Little BIG Books: Weekly Point Sheet</title>

Just trying to get the Point Sheet together for lBb.  Given what we want to focus on, here&#8217;s a sample setup for 25 points a day:

We also need to decide on what assignments will make up the last 75 points.  For Author Study, we&#8217;re doing 25 points each for weekly JOURNAL, DISCUSSION &#38; GROUP [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=esaliterature.wordpress.com&blog=1644299&post=9&subd=esaliterature&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
