The Library of Imagination

I wanted to pass on one of my favorite journal prompts.

http://www.walkerdigital.com/video/ The musical accompaniment is splendid.

Questions I ask for the prompt:
How much do you love to learn? Value learning? How important was creativity in the creation of this library and the success that provided the means to build this library? What original manuscripts would you want in your library? What artifacts?

Jay Walker can also be found at ted.com with a personal explanation of his Library of Imagination.

Teaching Literature and Reading Wiki

If any of you are interested in materials on literature circles and reading topics covered in Eng 378, feel free to join the wiki for access to materials after you finish at BYU. :) I am adding a lot of fabulous teacher handouts to the site. Also, I am working on getting Novelinks onto a wiki or blog that is accessible off campus as well.
