Description

"I'm working on my next unit with my pre-service teacher and we are thinking of doing creative writing with a twist. Do you have any suggestions?" asked Michele Hood a seventh grade language arts teacher, as we discussed the progression of the current research unit we were implementing. As the teacher-librarian, I immediately got excited! I work closely with the teachers at my middle school, collaborating on many levels, and I enjoy adding popular culture to the curriculum where appropriate. I add music, movies, and reading material my students enjoy outside the school environment. For example when talking about Internet safety, I discuss Facebook and MySpace because students are familiar with these sites. When examining literary devices, I use the text of their favorite songs or books. Students are motivated by and connect with lessons that involve media they appreciate.
