Action List: 3.15.2011

Work on your own today. Headphones are fine. Do at least one of the following, make a post that responds to the questions posed, and then choose a follow-up activity.

1. Read a brief piece, "Let Kids Rule the School," from the New York Times about a school that let students make their own school within a school. Would that work here?

2. Browse this visual timeline of children's picture books. What books have your favorite illustrations, and what books do you have the best memories of?

3. Read this piece in the New York Times about "over achievers" in the NCAA basketball tournament. Does it make you question any picks you made in your brackets for this year?

Follow-up Activities:

* Confer with me about your ATW essay.
* Log some reading you've done lately.
* Compose a personal post about things on your mind or what you've been up to.
