Here's my message to young people: you wouldn't let a bunch of old people decide what music you're going to listen to or what clothes you're going to wear – so don't let them decide your future. Make a plan to vote today: IWillVote.com/Obama

Man I’d love to do this with kids! Great!

Today, our paragraph-length writing was for students to select a sentence from their choice novels and analyze the significance of that line to the plot, a theme, or a character. Students were focused and finding all kinds of awesome connections!
