I opened my big mouth and talked about how easy I thought it might be to upload documents on our site here by either using google docs or something like that. Wouldn't it be nice to see other agenda ideas from each other - especially when you think you really had something great that worked - and we could access them here? (By the way, I posted what I thought might be convenient links we could use on our homepage, so let me know of other ideas.)
Anyway, here's an article I used with my schools when I saw that teachers had not thought of leaving the security of the rigid seating arrangement of desks in rows only! We read the article using a strategy called structured indexing and I was pleased at the response this got. Hope you enjoy it; let me know how it worked. Here's a sample so that you can see what it looked like in a history class with a piece about westward expansion.
OK...so all that I did here was go to my gmail account (which you created to get on blogger) and then I went to the tab at the top which read "documents." From there it was really easy...I hit "upload" and then "browse" in the next window and then I scrolled through documents I had stored so that I could hyperlink them here for you. (The hyperlink is the little symbol at the top of this new post window...it looks like a link and it is between the italics and the quotation mark...
I'll try to post now to see if it worked!

Hey Barb!
I can't access the documents. It tells me I need permission from owner. Did you add our email addresses to the Sharing folder?
Thank you so much for the Structured Indexing. I will print all that off and keep handy for future references when working with my teachers. doubt my 2nd graders could figure that one out?
I am just excited that I was able to open everything up :-)
I'm not sure when you posted this but I am just now checking my Blog.
