What adolescent doesn't sit up and take notice to anything extreme?
Check out Tracy T's blog Extreme Reading from Park Campus. This focuses on 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who have developed this site with help from their teacher.
Find extreme poetry written by middle schoolers, and even post a comment about them, or have your students add some of their own!
Check out the extreme book talks to find books to motivate your students to read that are recommended and reviewed by the best in the business - teens!
And for the teacher in you, find lots of resources in the extreme teachers section.
No need to reinvent the wheel - get it straight from the teens' mouths, so to speak!
What a neat idea!!! This website will definitely influence students to read poetry and novels through the interesting poems and book reviews accompanied with audio and visuals. In addition, it is also a great motivation for them to want to create informative pieces of their own! All I can say is WOW! What a great use of technology and real-life literacy in the classroom. Thanks a bunch for sharing this site!!!
