Students can come in whenever they want to read, relax, or play with my iPad if they will also help other students when they need it. They respect getting the privilege and it's never been abused.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769846506569519862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-34252246162842400622011-08-28T20:51:38.434-04:002011-08-28T20:51:38.434-04:00I really enjoyed this list as well.

I think that as a teacher-librarian, I'm in the perfect spot to implement these ideas; I think classroom teachers feel pressure or tradition forcing them to assign seating or homework. I don't bother with either of these and no one has complained. I'll print this list out as a reminder to myself - most of them are things I do, but I can foresee "due dates" as being an area I need to work on.MZMollyTLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565896547458451347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-77771813967715334132011-08-28T13:07:53.962-04:002011-08-28T13:07:53.962-04:00I like all the ideas mentioned above.

I think it takes time that students are really responsible to understand all those points and apply them wisely. If i say to my students, you can get a time out everytime you feel it, probably, they would be going out of the classroom at any moment. For sure it takes time, but it is part of the process of growing and becoming mature and responsible.Julián VMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979472790988764243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-53646828126961105382011-08-28T12:33:47.698-04:002011-08-28T12:33:47.698-04:00@Mrs. Johnson,
Thanks for the comment, expansion...@Mrs. Johnson, <br /><br />Thanks for the comment, expansion, and opportunity to clarify. A book review is something you write for an authentic audience as a result of being moved to do so. It enables you to connect with others who share your like or dislike and learn about other possible books of interest. That is good. Doing so is also safe btw for students.<br /><br />A book report is something that is written for no audience because someone else tell you you have to. That is not good.Lisa Nielsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759123507185453030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-79213997580737070542011-08-28T11:50:42.938-04:002011-08-28T11:50:42.938-04:00Love everything on this list, just want to expand ...Love everything on this list, just want to expand on #6 on the Don't list which gave me a laugh because now that goodreads.com exists, I, book lover that I am, read a book & them immediately CAN'T WAIT to write a review about it on this book sharing review site.<br /><br />I wish there was a safe place for kids to do the same.<br /><br />So I agree with the principal of #6 --just think the example needs updating because there are actually some adults who read books & write reviews on them 'just for fun'.<br /><br />Love this posting, thanks!<br />Julie Johnson<br />betterthanworksheets.comJulie Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796427254856173894noreply@blogger.com
