* apologies for cross-postings * For an upcoming article in the "Nudging Toward Inquiry" series for School Library Monthly, I'm looking for your creative ideas that would tweak the following scenario. Can you help? Submit your ideas at http://bit.ly/mKq0c by October 15! Thanks, Kristin ******************************************************************* THE SCENARIO After school, a history teacher comes into your office in a high school library. Setting down his stack of teacher editions and papers with a sigh, he slumps into your guest chair. ?I don?t know if I can do it this year,? he says. ?I don?t know if I have the stamina for the Key Battles of World War II [or war of your district?s choosing] Report. It takes forever, the kids hate it, and I feel like the police ? and all we end up with is another batch of plagiarized, boring, Wikipedia-sounding reports about the Battle of Midway. ?Don?t get me wrong,? he says quickly, reaching across you to snag something from the candy dish on your desk. ?I love you. It?s just the report I can?t stand.? THE QUESTION Quick! Before he a) gives up, or b) eats your last sweet, what can you suggest that will ramp up the student engagement, re-energize your colleague, and make World War II more relevant for the kids? (You might change the product, the process, the graphic organizer, etc.) *********************************************************** Submit your ideas at http://bit.ly/mKq0c by October 15! -- Kristin Fontichiaro P.O.
