		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m trying to phonetically represent the theme from Jaws. You know, the whole approaching shark thing. Da dum. The dreaded 120 Seconds is coming! It&#8217;s January, and time for my crew to publicly display their mad oral reading and public speaking skills. Da dum, Da dum, Da dum. &#8220;Has anyone ever peed their pants?&#8221; &#8220;No, but I had one run out the door&#8230;&#8217;I'm going to be reading from&#8230;uh&#8230;&#8217; and BAM, she was gone out the door. I sent somebody after her after about five minutes. I think that one came close.&#8221; &#8220;What&#8217;s the record for likes and uhs?&#8221; &#8220;120. We had to give her another chance the next day. She got it down to 11.&#8221; &#8220;What if I read from Winnie the Pooh?&#8221; &#8220;Did you really like it?&#8221; (sheepish) &#8220;Yes.&#8221; &#8220;&#8221;Well then, you read from Winnie the Pooh.&#8221; &#8220;What if your friend is in the audience making you laugh?&#8221; &#8220;One: Get rid of him as a friend. Two: He&#8217;d lose points on his, and you&#8217;d get to start over. Three: There is no third thing.&#8221; &#8220;Can I really get into it? And like, wear a wizard&#8217;s hat and have a magic wand for reading Harry Potter?&#8221; &#8220;That&#8217;d be beauty. Too [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This time (and next), it&#8217;s not quite a rerun. It&#8217;s more of a remix. Yeah, that&#8217;s it. Right now we&#8217;re in the midst (today was day 2) of our two-minute book reports. I posted about this last year about this time, so I&#8217;m going to use that previous post as the starting point, and embellish&#8230; I have always hated &#8220;book reports.&#8221; (Wait, I told my wife I would try to stop using that word.) I didn&#8217;t like writing them (took all the fun out of the book), I didn&#8217;t like reading them back when I thought I had to assign them. I don&#8217;t like the summarize kind, the analyze kind, the combo kind, the form letter kind, or the &#8220;make a diorama&#8221; kind.  (Well, some of the dioramas I used to get WERE pretty cool; the Lego version of the murder in the graveyard in Tom Sawyer was very detailed and boss, and I still have a shoebox/popcicle stick Tom Sawyer whitewashing scene from 1995, a matchstick Outsiders hide-out church from 1994, and Tom and Becky lost in a shoe-box cave, complete with bats. But still&#8230; If you do like book reports or feel the &#8220;need&#8221; to assign them , here [...]]]></description>

If you like book reports, here are some less boring ideas.)  I figure KBAR takes care of most of my &#8220;need&#8221; to make them read/respond outside of class, and I certainly don&#8217;t need more work to grade. But I do see a large value in having the kids share with each other what they are reading and enjoying. They always need new material to try out. I have always disliked &#8220;presentations.&#8221; Especially long ones. After 15-20 minutes of whatever riveting presentations are being performed, the rest of the class (including [...]]]></description>
