Thing 21 - Podcasts

I enjoyed listening to several podcasts from the Education Podcast Network that were part of a series called the Who Said Literature Game where you listen to a character speech from a novel and then guess the character, novel, and author. Wouldn't that be a fun thing to do?! I could read an excerpt from a book and have the kids guess who the character, title, and/or author is. Wouldn't that be great? I get so excited when I think aobut doing things like this, but then I immediately feel like a balloon that's been popped because then I start worrying about how I'll be able to fit it in. I have GOT to figure out a way to get some help to do the clerical part of my job so that I'll have more time to do the cool stuff that will get kids excited about reading!!
