I'll also go around the room while kids are writing and give the book, open to a certain essay, to a specific kid because I think it'll give her/him some good ideas.<br /> <br /> Scanning the pages to post to the Web site is something I'm thinking of, though. Also, if I find any teachers with student aides that don't have anything to do, I'll have those kids type up the essays. Recording some essays being read and playing back that recording during class might happen and I could post that audio on the site, too.<br /> <br /> But this is the problem, isn't it? Finding good texts to use is only half of the issue; getting those texts into the hands of our students is the other half.

Photocopy the essay for the whole class, and each class? Copy a class set? Scan it and post it on a website? So, how do you incorporate these into the classroom?
