7/11 Heroes aren't Hard to Find in SI
I am loving SI. May I just pause a moment and state this publically? As my friend Jan often says, "My brain is full." My brain is full . . . and it does not stop working. Even when I go to sleep at night. I really liked what Kim Keith did with the Heroes Demo: and her emphasis on exposing students to more than one story. I did want to see some heroes, though, who were women. So I was a wee bit disappointed that there were no Power Puff Girls or no Wonder Woman. Hey---even the highly sexualized Charlie's Angels from the 70s! (Well, maybe not them.)
Ben's demo with the one-sentence story was great. I really loved some of my sentences. Here are some favorites:
"Mushrooms aren't just for eating," exclaimed Wanda.
Feeling clammy, Clem the oyster burped up a pearl.
Sexting was how Anna got through the night.
The spider coursed down the drain, spinning and twirling in the rushing water.
I also loved the "Bad Writing" exercise!
