Week 5:11 Web 2.0 Award Sites

When I was checking out the award winning sites, under "Fun Stuff" I went for the honorable mention (http://www.onesentence.org).  The site describes itself as: "true stories, told in one sentence."  This makes for fascinating reading and would be a good writing exercise for high school students.  

I wish something similar could be created as an exercise for students to post a book blurb about a book they read. The blurb could introduce the book or a student could take on a character's identity and create a post to entice readers to the book.

I joined the gotbooks.ning.com ("a network for librarians") and I am awaiting approval....
