WHY QUOTATIONS? A FEW MORE THOUGHTS
Among the skills this exercise helps students practice are
- paraphrasing, a critical language arts skill;
- using synonyms, a skill that appears on every standardized test with a verbal section;
- giving examples, which is a useful skill for supporting opinions in persuasive essays.
"I've learned to ask whether anyone had a different interpretation," Crossley added. "T
"They love having a form," Crossley told Education World. "As they enter the room, a day's new quotation is on the overhead. Even if they don't understand it, they can at least copy it, so the room does get quiet. I tell them it's OK if they truly don't understand the quotation, that they can fill in the rest of it as they hear classmates' explanations. Then I call on volunteers to read to us whatever they choose to share."
I typed the quotations I found onto transparencies so that I could use them as board work at the start of class. The kids are very active and the notable quote exercise -- complete with lowered lights, silence, and a serious discussion -- helped cool the classroom atmosphere."

During a parent-teacher conference to discuss my concerns about her lack of involvement, I was shocked to hear her parents say, "But she writes all the time! She's on the computer writing essays and poems for hours each night." Cassandra was quick to reply, "That's online writing, not boring school writing. We all do
it on Xanga."
One student wrote, "By taking away our access to the Talkback Project blog, you have taken away my voice."
The good news spread as far as
Iraq, where a soldier wrote to ask if he could participate in the book discussion with his son's literature circle group.
Finally, both groups
felt that the end of the project was anticlimactic.
importance of clarifying expectations for both students and preservice teachers.
To begin the project, I signed students up as users on the blog, using my school e-mail to avoid forgotten usernames or passwords, and assigned each student a pseudonym to use while signing their blog entries. My students posted their journal entries on the Talkback Project blog during class time on one of the 25 computers I had available for student use. The preservice teachers read the novels along with the students and also responded on the blog weekly.
There are many successful weblog projects used in K-12 schools, such as the fourth-grade blog by students in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, which won the International Reading Association's Miss Rumphius Award for technology integration (Kreul, 2001).
Leu and Kinzer (2000), in their research of technologies and literacy, found that "the convergence of literacy instruction with Internet technologies is fundamentally reshaping the nature of literacy instruction as teachers seek to prepare children for the futures they deserve" (p. 111).
