Flip Review: World Without Fish

 

Pro Blog Post #6 : FLIP Book Review

Eco-narratives aren't new, but certainly a growing trend, and dare I say need in the world of publishing today. It is a genre that I am both interested and active in. While an English teacher by trade, it was a close call to be a science teacher, so I feel this genre marries my two loves :)  

While I read three different selections--Flush, by Carl Hiaasen, A Voice for the Everglades: Marjory Stoneman Douglas, by Vicki Conrad, and World Without Fish, by Mark Kurlansky--I chose the latter to create a book talk on Flip...GRID. There I said it!  Who names something with just one word?? It was much better as Flip Grid, ha!

So go ahead and if you want to hear me talk about Kurlansky's book (I cringe to hear my own voice) go for it and enjoy! Oh, and read the book!

For this, I only used images.  I ran into problems this time with a lot of photos these days on websites and thro...

 Blog Post #8 Hey y’all…here we are, at the end of our blogging journey. Perhaps it’s just the beginning for you!  I am not sure if I will continue, or make a new one.  Without the prompt right now, until I finish my degree, I don’t see myself continuing until I am done this summer!  I attempted one for my class of kindergarteners in Thailand way back in the day, and many parents of the kids were into it.  I’d have to see whether or not I could blog about my current students, but if I do continue a blog of some sort, I definitely want it known to my students and parents.  I think it could be a great way of establishing community relationships and partnerships.  Reviewing my own blogs I can definitely tell that I started to figure a few things out in terms of layout and add ons. I think my best post for professionalism was #3 - We are All Writers . Because I was linking to so many of the readings, I included hyperlinks that will take a reader to the Ama...
