Love+what+you're+reading!

The power to **connect** to what we are reading gives words meaning and understanding.

We remember information more when we make **//connections//**.

Choose what you want to read about. Stories that move you, make you laugh, make you cry, touch you in some way. That is what being a good reader is about.

Check out a video from Ms. Brayden's Gr. 6's

 * use of iphone technology for a creative purpose (camera, voice memo, downloading)
 * choosing photos and learning to cite the photos
 * use of creative commons

 * music and creative commons
 * on top of all the learning the boys had fun while making the video and talking about a sport they love
