I am pretty excited about a wiki I have created for the 8th grade girls to compliment their study of Sue Monk Kidd's Secret Life Of Bees. It is really a variation on the literature circle concept with 2 teams of 10 alternating chapter coverage of the 14 chapters. Over the course of their study of the book, each student will take on 7 different roles and post to the wiki. I am hopeful that , in addition to creating their own work, they will be creating discussion regarding the observations by their peers as well.
I am looking forward to the whole expereince with the students writing with purpose for a large audience. Should be exciting!
