Using ARCs
Page taken from ZOMBIE BLONES by Brain James.
Used Post-it tape to cover chosen words and then used paint over the paper.
When dried, peeled off Post-it tape to reveal poem.
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN
• Take a page (or 2 or 3 or more) from one of the ARCs• Create a highlighter poem• Or create a blackout poem• You may work alone• Or you may work in groups• Work quickly• Don’t overthink this• Be prepared to share
And now for REMIXING...
• Use F&Gs to create new interpretations of the stories.
• You can focus the remix: character, theme, setting, etc.
• Also helps kids learn summaries

Why Sketchnote?
We are incredible at remembering pictures. Hear a piece of information, and three days later you'll remember
10% of it. Add a picture and you'll remember 65%.

Some Tweet Facts
Usage 2007-2012http://www.ignitesocialmedia.com/social-media-stats/2012-social-network-analysis-report/
Here is what Twitter says about online
PD/communityAll you need to do is
ask…
Following @donalynbooks would net you hundreds of others to follow, connect you to #nerdybookclub and #titlechat and get links to @educationweek and other blogs
Connecting with @readingjunkee gets connections to @yalsa, nets more people to follow in the library field, and will also shake out book titles as must reads.
@utalaniz is the queen of RTs. If you miss something, she will catch it for you. Interesting links in her posts.
∗Decreased funding for PD∗Distance to events∗Time away from work∗Can meet like-minded individuals∗Makes connections across country and
world
Why Twitter?
And here is @FrankiSibberson asking us what we are reading on Mondays. Another community!
And here is Sara’s tweet about Banned Books Week so we can see what her students do every day to celebrate the Freadom to Read.
