Whilst perusing the UEN website, I found a few things that would be really fun to use in my classroom. The first one was a link to CNN student news (http://www.cnn.com/studentnews/). I thought this might be a fun way for incorporating current events into the class.
another item I thought would be useful was a video that called Harry Potter: Real Worlds and Heroic Myths. It explores the folklore, myths and legends that inspired the adventures and how the books are based on a solid foundation of classical traditions that are fundamental to Western literature. I thought this would be fun and interesting for the kids to help incorporate something that they are interested in already and use that.
The third things i found was actually a link to all of the activities that are listed, by content area, for the students to do. It can go along with lessons, or just be something fun, but educational. Gave me lots of ideas of things to do in my classroom.
