Today began happily with a package from LiteratiCat<\/a>, which held my gift-wrapped winnings<\/a> from the contest on teenliterature<\/a>. An excellent way to begin the day. <\/p>\n

I wrote my Ideas section<\/a> for this week’s Inbox<\/a>, this week on reflection as a part of assessment. Then I moved on to edit a new ReadWriteThink lesson plan: Questions and Answer Books\u2013From Genre Study to Report Writing<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We also published a new Flash interactive today, the Flip Book<\/a>, which helps students create those a staggered length book–page one is the shortest and page ten the longest. I can only take credit for helping with the design, but it’s taken almost a year to get it from design to reality, so I’m happy that it’s finally done. We’re planning spin-offs on the tool, interactives that use the same idea of templates and drawing tools to publish other artifacts (e.g., book covers, CD covers). Ideally, those won’t take as long.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I have a meeting with the Books Team about my series proposal. I hope all goes well.<\/p>\n
