Websites

Three web sites not listed in class...

www.pandora.com

Since music is an integral part of pop culture, this website allows the user to access free radio stations via the internet. I let my students have the last 5 minutes of class last week to listen to their choices of music. They absolutely loved it!

www.wdl.org

Obviously, the library is a very important part of middle school (any age) learning. This website lets the user access artifacts and music from around the globe. I have shown my students this website as well. It helps to create worldly users.

This was from an interview a colleague heard on NPR on making poetry fun. She shared it with all of the Language Arts teams to help create excitement in learning poetry.

Hope these sites are useful to you all.
