You might think these are middle class SES people, but my friend flies around in her family airplane. That kind of money...and they are all suffering the same way... So I took some of the journaling ideas as I was watching the video and texted them to her. She said she tried journaling, but it was pretty dark...and I told her that was okay- she was writing about what she was filtering during the day. Her daughter was keeping a journal of her experiences so she asked her daughter if she would share any of her journal writing with her...and she did. My friend texted me back and said I learned a lot today... ]]> 2020-04-07 16:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chornor/77m2h82vg53c/wish/497171525 chornor https://padlet.com/chornor/77m2h82vg53c/wish/497429691 Reading - Inhaling

I think doing a go fund me. I also like the mobile book library idea. I wondered if we could, logistically do a mobile book library for our students to return and check out books. I also found the list of book buzzes. I think that would be cool to try instead of the menu of choices. Also getting a video like the dog one and having them write about it would be super awesome. I think it would take a lot of participation, which I personally haven't had a lot of. But I think for even in class that would be a cool add in for writing about "reading"
