1. In the new movie, Shrek wished his royalty status away. Have your students pick a turning point in their lives and write about what would have happened if they had gone the other way. (Use Wallwisher)

2. Write a backstory for Donkey. What “story” does he come from? How did he end up in that forest? (Use whatever you want to create this one!)

3. Make character trading cards on readwritethink.org

4. Create a movie trailer for Shrek using scanned student drawings or thematic symbols and ANIMOTO.

5. Use glogster as medium to reflect on one of the fairytales mentioned in the movie. Include history of the story, possible audio retellings and images.

Or make up your own idea. I promise not to stalk your classroom and check what you do.

Until Next Time,
Lit Maven Out!

Video: Charlie Tells Kristen About His Disease

True story…most patients with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma are men. This didn’t help me but in a way it makes me feel “special”.

Here is the List of the Hodgkin Lymphoma All Stars!

1. Dexter! – Michael C. Hall the actor rather than the character had cancer. But a serial killer with Cancer is “interesting”.

2. Ethan Zohn from Survivor.

3. D.J. Qualls – The skinny actor from Road Trip. He has also appeared on Lost and Breaking Bad.

4. Mario Lemiuex – The former Captain and now owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

5. Tracey Nelson – daughter of Ricky Nelson and niece of Mark Harmon (NCIS).

6. Barry Watson – Seventh Heaven

7. “Charlie”- Matthew Fox’s character from Party of Five. OK…another true story…this character had cancer the same time as me. I had to watch commercials where at times he was not doing well…lovely….But Charlie and I pulled through.

8. Me – A.K.A. the girl with the sense of tumor.

I don’t think this new show will metastasize, but hey at least we are all still here!
