Chapter 11 Activities We recommend printing a copy of the directions for each activity before proceeding to the designated websites. Activity A http://poetryzone.woodshed.co.uk/index2.htm Children's Poetry in the Poetry Zone is a Website that posts poetry submitted by children of all ages. Assuming the school in which you teach has its own Website, describe how you could use a similar approach to encourage writing in your subject area. Do you believe that the extensive and growing use of the Internet will tend to increase or decrease the amount of writing/typing/composing done by high school students? Activity B Visit http://www.ushistory.org/march/index.html the Virtual Marching Tour of the American Revolution. Assume that a group of tenth grade students has been assigned to explore and read part of this Website (your choice). Create an activity for the students using any of the strategies presented in chapter 11.
