        This collaborative project will help increase appreciation in literature for students in grades 4-8.   Each week your class will read a selection from the genres listed for the week.  The students will come up with a summary of the book chosen.  The summary can be processed using the AlphaSmart
keyboard.  This will allow you to preview, edit, download and publish the summaries and discussions of the books.

Materials
AlphaSmart keyboards (one for every two students would be optimal).
Digital Camera (optional)
Printer
Computers.
Get Utility Software by AlphaSmart (optional)

        For information on the AlphaSmart keyboard, see the web site, or view the AlphaSmart catalog in PDF format.  The AlphaSmart catalog does offer a classroom set of keyboards.
