Unit 15 - Author Study media type="custom" key="11786770" Jillian- I loved your link to goodreads! That was a great idea and allowed us to know what your opinion-Andrea Jillian, Ellen Hopkins would be proud! This glogster has great accessories (I like how you added your Goodreads review, the book talk and dbt), is the click and www something new with Glogster? Let me know, BJ It was the first time I've ever used Glogster, so I'm not sure if that's a new feature or not...But it was a lot of fun to use :) -Jill Jill.. Love glogster. Now that you used it, would you again? I would. Sadly some of the thing we have been exposed to in class I don't think will happen. With budgets being cut the last thing district want is something new. But the worst they can say is no, but we can always ask. Glogster is at the top of my list. I incorporated Hopking in my theme study. All the kids are reading her in school! I called her the Queen of Verse. Good luck! ...Meghan Jill- I absolutely loved your blog. I really enjoy Hopkins writing and look forward to reading more of her books. I really loved how all the book trailers for her books were on one page once you clicked on it. The quotes were also a great addition to the glog!! ~Kellie Jillian~ Great Glog. Rally energizing to look at...I think teenagers would be motivated to check these books out based on your glog Anne Unit 13 - Top Ten List media type="custom" key="11490136" Jill, I absolutely loved the party background and the rockin' music like you were celebrating those books, great Animoto of your top 10! BJ Jill- I really loved how all the book covers were floating around in this background, and the music was great! ~Kellie Jillian... Love Animoto. That was the perfect background and music. Music was right on. I did not notice that background. I am going back to look at animoto and see what I can put with it. ... :) Meghan Unit 12 book talk media type="youtube" key="aANy1g5WJuU" height="315" width="560" Jillian... I love how you start your talks with questions for us to ponder. And yes we only see the happy homecoming of war vets at the airport on tv. Us non military citizens don't have a clue what military families go through. This book is great for helping others see what happens behind the scenes and also for families that are struggling with this... Meghan Jillian, I have been an ardent fan of Dana Reinhardt and I definitely need to read this book, I hope the questions you ask will be answered in a positive way, but since when is war ever positive? Thanks for a great book talk. BJ

Unit 11 DBT media type="custom" key="11308138"Jillian...I am intrigued! I loved the music and the pictures...I have seen this book but never bothered with it. This was not what I thought the story was about...But after seeing your book trailer..I am going to put it on my "to read " list for ...Christmas Break!! Thanks Anne I love the music with the pictures, it really gets me in the holiday spirit!- Andrea Jill, This is a PA Young Reader's Choice Book and we have 3 copies--I am definitely going to read this based on your exciting DBT! Love your Works Cited too. I love D. Levithan, so I can't wait:) BJ I read this book last year, right after it came out and absolutely loved it. Your book trailer fits the story perfectly and would definitely draw people to read the book. I loved your music choice as well! -Kellie Jill... Okay...Now the sugarplum fairy song has a whole new meaning and is not so cute anymore. Great idea to make use the music as both intriguing and mysterious. I will be on the look out for this book. Sounds like it can appeal to both boys and girls. ... Meghan media type="youtube" key="hODEYM3SWE8" height="315" width="560" Jill, I read this book for another class... it was so interesting and a little scary to think how reliant we are now on the internet! Great job getting people hooked with your opening questions!-Andrea Jill, your book talk had just the right amount of facial expression and dialogue to inspire lots of suspense in this creepy sci-fi thriller. BJ Awesome job :) This idea creeps me out, I remember what it was like before cell phones and now how hopelessly addicted to mine I am and heaven forbid I couldn't have a smart phone anymore - I don't know what I'd do! Is this the future? I def. want to read this book! Thanks! - Kelly Jill... Love your booktalk. I was thinking about your questions as would students and then thinking okay show me the book. As you keep talking I was stilling listening and thinking I don't want this life. And SHOW ME THE BOOK... and then I thought I bet it is Feed. And SHOW ME THE BOOK, to see if I was right. And I was and now I can sleep tonight. Hook, line and got them. Kudos :) Meghan

Jill, I just loved your Prezi, the text, the pictures - this DBT was awesome. I haven't read this book by Hopkins but now I want to! BJ I loved the idea of a Prezi, I love how sequential yours was! This sounds like a book I would read!- Andrea Wow! You made it look so easy to do Prezi. I liked how you had pictures with sequenced with an event. This may help me in the future. Meghan

= = Jillian, Your book talk was great and I enjoyed your ending! I love the cover of this book and Carlos and Kiara are favorite characters of mine, I was rooting for them throughout! I have read and totally enjoyed Elkeles's three books about the Fuentes brothers. BJ Jillian... Great delivery. Better than mine which sounded like a documentary. This book would appeal to my students. Glad we get to see what we all look like. :)Meghan

Unit 4 - DBT #1 Jillian Roth
It looks awesome! I loved the effects - definitely want to try this program for my next DB! - Kelly I loved that you used something other than the original animoto movie setting- I want to try that next! The music sounded great!-Andrea Jillian, I love the orange effects and your works cited slides! BJ The music and the "bubbles" really created an intersting feel. This was really fun to watch! Anne Jillian... what is not to like! Loved the music, photos and the effects. Animoto is on my list. Hope I can be as creative as you. Meghan Jill, I loved this. The music and photographs were fantstic! I can't wait to play around with Animoto to complete one of my other book trailers. ~Kellie

Jillian, I just loved this series and Katniss was such a strong, positive female role model in a chaotic society. I can't wait to see the movie! BJ

Love it!!! Hopefully the movie lives up to the book :) - Kelly

Jillian... she looks great. I watched the movie trailer on you tube. The first one I saw the acting was so bad and then realized it was amateurs. Then I found the official trailer and your voki looks just like her. ...Meghan

This loooks great.! Anne
