I received a two hundred fifty dollar grant for taking part in a year long study of misconceptions I will receive that money sometime at the end of July 2012 and will purchase 2 kindle touches and Headphones. It does not sound like very much but I will make it work. I will purchase the headphones at the dollar store and get a few extra so each student will have their own. I will label and collect them every day so that they stay in good shape. We also have flash drives for every student and I can use them for this class and keep them in the room.
Narrative text will be downloaded on flash drives, kindles and MP3 players so the individual students will have access, and read on he computer from Project Gutenberg. Every student will get something to use and they will trade with each chapter.
Project Gutenberg will be used to download books I am starting with White Fang. This book is about a dog named Buck and his adventures when he is kidnapped and sold to work in a dog sled team during the Klondike Gold Rush.I also found a great audio book on youtube of White Fang. (see Link Below)
You tube is a great resource for the Gold Rush and for the book White Fang.
