Paul suggested at one point that this ladder was READING TRAVELOGUE
And I thought, hey there are journeys in music and art, too. So, here is where I went
JANIS JOPLIN, RISE UP SINGING
Bio of Van Gogh
and then we went on a journey to peace (I was reading the final Chaos Walking book):
MONSTERS OF MEN
HUNGER GAMES
SADAKO AND THE PAPER CRANES
MANEKIN PIS
and now we took a new direction
IN THE PATH OF FALLING OBJECTS
THIS is why I "make" my lit classes sign up for Twitter and Facebook and explore blogs. Look at how much brainstorming took place online...amazing.
