\"oneDespite the fact that today is Lisa’s birthday and there was much celebration including 3 bouquets of flowers, I managed to get my draft ready for this week’s Ideas Section<\/a> of the Inbox<\/a>, which will be published tomorrow’s afternoon. This week’s focus is authentic writing instruction. Plus I turned in the May 1 Content Report for ReadWriteThink<\/a>. In the last 15 days, we added 5 lesson plans, published the June calendar<\/a>, and revised a lesson to include an interactive (82% of NCTE’s lessons now include an interactive—woohoo!).<\/p>\n

With all that work work done, I figured it was time for play work. I fiddled around on BlogShares<\/a>. I still don’t fully understand, but I managed to buy some of Sordid Blog<\/a> just the same. Nothing like owning a piece of the Rhetboi. <\/p>\n

Once I spent most of my money, I decided it was time to set up a blogroll, even though I hate the word blog<\/i>. I started using the list that BlogLines<\/a> sets up, but I wasn’t happy with the layout and I wanted a little more control over the names and such. I ended up starting with their list and then copying it over into an include file. Yeah, I have to do upkeep by hand, but I’m happier with it.<\/p>\n

I think I’ve given up on the Technology Profile lesson plan. Perhaps it can be a complex tech writing assignment where students write a technical description. Maybe not. For now, which is really only defined as the next 8 or 9 hours, I’m not going to try to figure it out. I have a lesson I’d like to create about naming. Tons of texts available, and I think I have a cool idea for it. I need to work on a revision of a lesson on Because of Winn-Dixie<\/i> too, but the book is at the office, so I can get out of that to-do for now.<\/p>\n
