Fayette County Schools Forums

 

Paul Laurence Dunbar English teacher Jennifer Forgy (with help from library media specialist Lynda Short and school tech resource teacher Terry Carr) is responsible for this reading/collaboration project. In only a couple of months, the Bulldog Book Club has become the most active forum on the environment! Below are some examples of forum contributions. 

  • What's happening: The students in Ms. Forgy's Freshman English classes have been assigned books to read. Not all students are reading the same book. Since discussion topics are book titles, not all students contribute to all topics.
  • Who are the players:
    • jforgy: Jennifer Forgy, teacher
    • 04fmlast: seniors - these students receive extra credit for participation in the forum, and lead the discussion for each topic/book title.
    • 07fmlast: Freshmen - these students answer questions and contribute to the forum discussion for class credit.
  • Examples:
