Share a Story 2012: A Quick Look Back

We had several notes over the weekend from folks who were "just now" catching up on Share a Story - Shape a Future 2012 and reading the posts. We hope you're still basking in all that great, positive energy!!

We also had a couple of other items and additions that I wanted to highlight. I'll be adding them to our Comprehensive Index of Posts and List of Contributors, but I also want to share them here.

Making a digital story with kids from The Book Chook - interesting presentation of how to make a digital story in movie format...

Great story to introduce computer use/safety.

If you are 16 or under and like to write stories or poems, this site is for you. KIdsWWwrite publishes writing by young authors and offers you a chance to share it with the world. Read stories and poems by other young authors or submit your own writing for publication on the site.

David Lubar's topical and literary index is quite thorough and useful. Perfect for teachers to use with reluctant readers. Additionally, since the books are packed with short stories, they're perfect for identifying a terrific read aloud! Yes, there are anthropomorphic hot dogs on the covers, but they conceal a broad and deep variety of short fiction. Scroll down to find the perfect story for any classroom need.

In the Share a Story-Shape a Future introductory entry today, I indicated this posting would be a list of blogs I hope you will find useful in your efforts to become more familiar with a wide array of multicultural books and customs. The list is not comprehensive, but it is a list I can indeed recommend to you given my familiarity with these blogs. Let's get acquainted!

Wonderful article on libraries! GO Nancy Sullivan!
