Book Chats:
Okay... I set it up. Please let me know if it doesn't work. Here's the message that I sent to everyone:
I created a class called NONFICTION CHAT. Please use this key code: T3272Z6N95 on Nicenet.org

In this "class," create a NEW TOPIC for the book that you're reading. You can chat about any of the books that you're read, so feel free to wander into other chat rooms. And feel free to read additional books! (No... I'm not crazy. Good students seek additional knowledge and love learning!)
