I swear, I feel like if I ever need a clever activity idea I just have to go to Rad Books for Rad Kids blog and BAZINGA! Awesome ideas!

Mary Reilley Clark's curator insight, April 12, 2014 6:58 PM

This blogger might be hibernating (like I should talk!) but this is an interesting idea. Maybe for the incoming 6th graders next year.

Found this one on @GwynethJones's scoop.it board. I always wanted to tie the food drive with the Hunger Isn't a Game movement. Maybe we could give bonus points to those who donate to the food drive. (Or is that too much like the rich tributes from the Capitol getting extra gifts?)

I'm sure if I share this with my students, their response will be, "Then why should we bother searching for images that are free to use or share? We're not even going to be making money on our projects!" Interesting point, and one that would make a great research or debate topic.

Fiction & Non-Fiction Twitter Tweet Common Core Activity: Use the Twitter Concept to Make Connections to the Text

OK, I have to say first of all I HATE the term "Twitter Tweet!" which reminds me of some out of touch grownup saying things like "FaceSpace" or "MyBook" or the non ironic use of The Internets --

Whew! That being said - this reminds of my Tweet me a Book Review lesson and it's really CUTE! Combined together it could be a super fun activity!

Warning: the word find is difficult. It may take your students a long time to complete and drive them insane. This is how I get back at them when they are being difficult. heehee...just kidding."

GwynethJones's insight:

Looking for a fun and educational way to celebrate Halloween in your classroom? Then, you’ll love the activities in this resource that give your students a trick AND treat.

In this resource you’ll find a “Halloween Fun” activity. This one is the ‘TRICK’. In this activity students need to read the instructions very carefully. However, most students do not read the entire set of directions before beginning (that’s the trick). That means that students will follow the directions to create a Halloween drawing and complete a figurative language activity before they realize that they only needed to do the first 2 steps of the 16 step activity.

Of course, I'm a traveling hoarder - I'd rather haul my big bag around & wait at the luggage carousel for my creature comforts than go sleek and fast. But after reading her blog post, I may try & change!
