Activity Ideas

As I write this little blog of mine, it occurs to me that there might be teachers and parents who read this and think to themselves, "My wouldn't it be nice if there were activities to go along with this blog?"

I therefore will offer some ideas:

*Internet Literacy- go over blog concepts with the students. Topics to cover include, the title of the blog, figuring out what the blog is about, what posts are, and how labels or tags can help the reader to find everything in the blog on that subject.

*Have them read any three posts that review the books. Then have them put in order which books they would like to read next, along with a sentence for each one that says explains why.

*Create a scavenger hunt. Ask them questions that will require them to look over the blog to find the answers. For example, you can have them write down all the post titles in which "Peter Rabbit" is labeled, and "How much land did Beatrix donate to the National Trust?"

If any of you have ideas, please leave a comment to share it with other readers!
