Great Blog

I read a blog today about the book The Secret Life of Bees. It looked like it was a blog that incorporated student feedback about the book. It looked like the different posts were assignments that the students had to do based on their reading. For each chapter they had to create a summary or talk about the highlights, discuss the use of symbols, and create some artwork depicting events or themes in the novel. There was even a parent blog that I thought was great. It was called The Secret Life of Bees Parent Blog. I think the idea is that parents can read the same novel and comment on the book as well. What a great way to get parents invovled in great discussions about books with their kids.
