    Gossip of the Starlings Gossip of the Starlings by Nina de Gramont

    My review

     rating: 5 of 5 stars
    I loved this book. It relates the lives of high school age kids who are living a much different experience than I did at that time in my life. I was a public school/private school kid but not residential private school as these are. Very enlightening. They confront many of the same issues that I remember even though they are 30 years removed from my experience. Strangely enough, despite the difference in time and place, I found myself thinking, much too often, "there but for the grace of God...".

    I also found myself thankful for growing up WITHOUT being wealthy...I got into enough without unlimited funds!

Glogster: Poster Yourself… but why?

Posted by dmlagrone on October 21, 2008




I was intrigued by a reference to Glogster on Larry Ferlazzo’s site as I was reading it earlier this week. Wow! It was so cool…I could create a poster for myself. Naturally it was full of flamingos and words about reading. The flamingos even had rippling pools of water at their feet!

BUT…

what in the world would I do with Glogster in the classroom? I spent a little while thinking about it as I added even more rippling ‘mingos and just came up blank. Herein lies the problem with many touted ESL sites and activities: how to use them to improve language skills.

If any of you have ideas about using Glogster, please send ‘em on!
