Hey Crew,
The year is going great, and we've just about made it to the Fourth Quarter--way to go! Well, Brandon and Sam have provided some powerful inspiration and we now have a class blog. Here it is.
Our community uses this page (and our website, http://www.myteacherpages.com/webpages/TMacy/) as a Millennial Touchpoint for exchange of information and ideas. Daily postings include TEXTY+ responses to reading assignments and student-generated links to Article of the Day.
Happy Blogging,
Mr. Macy
Millennial to the bone, the Macy Homeroom is a community of 21st Century learners at Denver Academy High School in Denver, Colorado. Students and teachers are committed to growing our traditional and new age media literacies through reading, writing, and daily interaction with technology.
TEXTY
T- Tell me something about what you read
EX- Write out an EXcerpt from the book (with citation) related to the most significant or pivotal point in the reading
Example: "My father was crying. It was the first time I saw him cry. I had never thought it possible" (Wiesel 19).
T- Try to understand better by asking a question
Y- How does it relate to you? OR, if it does not relate to you; How did reading this make you FEEL?
