media type="custom" key="11785512" Meghan, this Glogster had so much good additional information for this story, loved all the videos and the Commensense link provided great background info. BJ Meghan :) I showed your glog to my class today. I made them learn the school house rock songs last year in 7th grade. They were singing along! Your glog has so much information on it. It is really fun to watch! Thanks Anne I love your Glogster! This style of book is not usually my favorite, but I like using the additional history and information that is available. The videos and photos were great and the map was a cool visual to show students! ~Kellie I love the Glogster - so cool. I definately want to try making one of these because it just draws me in right away - I think students would really enjoy hearing about a book through this as well. - Kelly

Book Talk Unit 9 media type="custom" key="11128530" Meghan, I can't wait to read this book! My kids went to a Civil War Park in Virignia a couple weeks ago. Their tour guide told them that he was a great- great nephew of J.W.B....He told them that he doesn't believe he was ever really caught..but rather he used his acting skills to create a new identity and slip away from capture...I gotta read this book and find out! Anne Meghan, what a great book talk, I love that you "ran around the side of the house" like you were chasing someone---such a great hook for this nonfiction book. I have it in my library and for all the great facts you told the viewers, I definitely want to read it! BJ Meghan- I love your book talks, they are always so interesting! I love the "on location" kind of feel, and you were definitely engaging. This book is definitely on my list. ~Kellie Your entrance definitely pulled me in! This sounds like a great nonfiction book! I'm excited to read it and get a closer look at the photos! -Jill Ladies... Have you seen a theme... They are all outside. This is to avoid the baby (9months) and my 3 1/2 year old from interrupting. Thanks, I am humbled. :) Meghan
