This month I was able to put my publishing background to use. I taught Ms. R’s class about the publishing process and worked all month long to write and publish a book about alliteration with them. The process was really exciting. Each day provided an opportunity to teach the students something new. We learned about the parts of a book, the brainstorming process, editing, -ing endings, verbs, nouns, adjectives, adverbs, spelling, illustration and cooperation. 

I also was able to teach an information literacy class to Ms. T’s class. We focused on evaluating online resources for bias, authority, and currency.
