Melissa & Patrina! Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. It is really exciting to learn what folks are getting out of the community. Thank you both for constantly participating and making this a richer and more exciting place!<br />

He decided to work with the University of Michigan Interactive Communications & Simulations that <a href="http://mcpopmb.ning.com/forum/topics/china-poetry-etc-online">I talked about this fall</a>. Interesting to add his voice to the mix!<br />

I am going to use the SNL skit from OF Mice and Men at the end of my unit (in three weeks!) Students will be learning about intertextuality and apply their new knowledge towards a reading of the skit. They are then going to bring in their own examples of intertextuality (think: a viewing of a Family Guy/Simpsons sketch or a reference in an article from Alternative Press magazine that references a punk rock band from the 80's when describing an up-and-coming band's newest album).<br />

Oh - and I couldn't forget myever-growing list of great films for middle schoolers. I can't wait to get started on their own separate film club. Thanks y'all!
