One of the favorite lessons in my freshman English class, both for me and for the students, is what I call the fractured novel. A few years ago, I decided to try something different, and assign individual chapters to the students, and created a bunch of fun activities where they needed to be detectives and create questions, theories, and explanations for the portions they were assigned. The students found it challenging yet very interesting. Once we had “reconstructed” the story and themes sufficiently in class, we watched the BBC Masterpiece Theater version. This year, trying to move ever closer to a paperless classroom, I decided to try to do it all online. I have been trying to move to Edmodo more and more for months, but this was the big test.
