Jeff Stanzler's List: Teacher Blogs

Today we read the short story Aunty Misery, by Juth Ortiz Cofer. It’s a characteristic folk tale — a short story teaching a moral, or a life-lesson, and involves the customary “Magical Realism” found in such work. We covered this information in the first minute or so of class and found ways to relate the magical realism to the last short story we read: The Monkey’s Paw, by W.W. Jacobs.

Many of you know that I'm asking the edublogosphere to gradually help me flesh out the Moving Forward wiki so that it can be a valuable resource to presenters and others who are trying to facilitate change in schools. For example, in April we identified a number of high-quality elementary classroom blogs.
