Editorial Cartoons!

I love the use of editorial cartoons in the classroom. Everyone sees different details when we analyze it. Some kids can really pull the connection together and others struggle, but once things are discussed, most can understand what they are looking at. When we made our own editorial cartoons, I momentarily panicked because I didn't think I could do it. But after given a moment to think, and some sample phrases or ideas, I managed to create one. I think I could use this concept in class once we practice a bit. Fortunately, we use Scholastic News as a tool in the classroom which has a weekly editorial cartoon which increases exposure. I hope to try this new strategy out this year!

Thank you, Anthony!

Live Binder works!

I am looking forward to using the Live Binder more as I see how it can compile all my web info in one place. That will be useful as I continue to create my PowerPoint presentation for April. I like how I can keep things organized. Cool stuff!
