There is a new phenomenon reaching internet bloggers--Post Secret. Basically, an author asked the public to send him post cards with the deepest secrets on them. No names or addresses necessary. Just the post card and the secret.
Of course it spread like wildfire. Everyone has a secret and many of them would like for that secret to be told--without the consequences of telling.
So take this concept into your classes. If you are a social studies teacher, challenge your students to create a realistic secret that a historical figure may have. What kinds of secrets would Robert E. Lee have had? Washington?
And what about the secrets of plants and animals? Push the envelope and create secrets for the content area. Good luck and post your secrets!
