Should There Be Zoos? A Persuasive Text by Tony Stead is a mentor text, we used to introduce how to write an effective writing piece. Our students listened and took up the challenge to write their own book. Via Virginia L Wallace, Carolyn Rhodes, Dennis T OConnor Delete the scoop?

"I teach in an inquiry, project-based, technology embedded classroom. A mouthful, I know. So what does that mean? To begin with, I don’t lecture. My students don’t take notes, at least not in the traditional sense, and we don’t read a novel and simply answer the questions.

"...my classroom is a place where my students spend time piecing together what they have learned, critically evaluating its larger purpose, and reflecting on their own learning. It also means my students don’t acquire knowledge just for the sake of acquiring it. They need to do something with it — that’s where “project-based” comes into play.
Finally, technology is embedded into the structure of all we do. It’s part of how we research, how we capture information, and how we display our learning. It’s never an accessory tacked on at the end." Via Karen LaBonte Delete the scoop?
