Okay, let's try it again!  The web site has been fixed so that you can
actually join the book rap!  The book is _Frogs_ by Gail Gibbons.  Rap
questions begin April 25 and run for 4 weeks.

During the week of April 18, please send a message introducing you and =
your
class.  Read the book to your class, or have them read it themselves.

If you are unfamiliar with book raps, here's how it works.

You read the book before the April 25th date.  Each week, I post a =
question
or point of interest related to the book, or subject matter of the book.
Your class gives opinions, does research, or writes, whichever suits the
question.  Your class sends a post for each rap point.  If your students
are older, it is okay to divide them into teams and allow them to post
themselves.  With younger children, such as my second graders, have a
discussion, decide what to respond, and then send a message.

This is the first time I have tried a non-fiction book, so it could get
interesting!  This service is provided through the Australian =
OZ-TeacherNet.
