Cycle 4 Focus

Here's an idea I learned about during Cycle 3 that I'd like to work on for Cycle 4.

The goal is to dig into class novels more effectively with my students. This is something that I've always felt I could improve at; this would be a good focus for Cycle 4.

Here's the idea that I'd like to pursue:
"novel discussion - online commenting, say, about a chapter. a mog or a blog or a bulletin board where you make everyone answer the question, and respond to at least 2 others. you get a rich tapestry of comments and questions very quickly."
