Creative Ways to Get Students to Read and Report

An article at BrightHub caught my attention because it was about writing book reports in a new way. The article talked about reading a book and creating a blog about it, then leaving the book for someone else to find. Here is an excert form the article: There is a website, www.bookcrossing.com, where students may go and register the book they have read. They then write a blurb about their book and receive an identification number.

Using this website, students participate in a modern, technologically advanced “message in a bottle” activity.
