On Wednesdays I usually do a book review, but to be honest I didn't find a book I loved that fit the theme of 1000.
For those of you just stopping by for this post, Artistry of Education has hit a milestone of 1000 posts. I am celebrating by giving away freebies each day for a week that are related to 1000.
What I did notice is that many books that have the word 1000 in the title are How-to books. This gives me an opportunity to introduce a new genre to my students. People create all kinds of things for their homes and gardens, then write up the directions for others to follow. (Caution: some of the how to books are not ones I want my students to read. Don't just send them off on a computer search.)
Before we had a district curriculum, I organized my literacy lessons by genre. I have published several of those lessons on Teachers Pay Teachers and Teacher's Notebook. Click here to see my Teaching Genre series.
While I don't expect students to write 1000 ways to do something, I do have a free writing lesson called Top Ten. You can download Top Ten from my Teachers Pay Teachers store. Top Ten is also available in my Teacher's Notebook store.
