Imagine this if you will. There is a first grade class. They have been working on “parts of a story”. They are already familiar with Mo Willems’ books and love pigeon. We have covered the importance of proofreading, asking for help (if they need it with spelling, punctuation, etc.), and what makes a “good” story. I have also (Oh, I should mention this is MY hypothetical class) discussed with them and sent a letter home about “homework” that will be completed through a website that I have set up. I have also arranged for a print version for any parents who do not/will not have access to the website. This would be an example of a project that would assigned to the students. I understand that some of them may not have someone to assist them regularly and I am in no way trying to overwhelm the students or their caregivers. I believe that a project of this size and involvement would be appropriate once or twice a month. So I guess all that is left is to let you see the website. I hope it does not disappoint!
