The Multi Genre Novel I read is "ttfn". This author uses text messaging to tell the story. Text messaging is not something I am very familiar with; however the theme of the novel and the characters within it are familiar to any woman who remebers the struggles of being a teenaged girl. myracle, l. (2007). //ttfn//. New York: Amulet Books.

This is a word cloud made from choice words from the book. It was a fun project. It is necessary to really focus on the main points in the story to make the word cloud. This would be a great project for kids, it is visual, creative and it forces you to think about the main ideas/words in the story. This was created with tagxedo at [| http://www.tagxedo.com/]



Here is a phraser for the TTFN [|TTFN phrasr] This is also a fun, creative project but it isn't necessary to know as much about the novel to create it. This might be a good supplementary activity along with something more in-depth. Create your own phraser at: []

The last site I used for this novel was playlist.com. It was fun to make a playlist for the girls. I chose songs that fit each girl and songs for the whole group. With playlist.com you are able to search phrases to find songs. It is important to listen to the songs to make sure that they fit but it is easy to find appropriate things for most topics. It was easy to embed the playlist and customize the look of it. I think this project would appeal to any child who has an interest in music.
