[LM_NET] For article: looking for your suggestions on how to improve old-school book reports

[Kristin Fontichiaro <font@UMICH.EDU>]

Hello -

For an upcoming article, I'm looking for librarians' ideas for how to  
nudge traditional teachers past, "Pick a book off this list and write  
a five-paragraph essay about it" book reports.

Got an idea?

Submit it here:

Thanks in advance!

Kristin
