#Incubator-of-Book-Dragons
Immerse 8 year olds in a cauldron of literature. Throw in content areas to spice. Simmer for the course of a school year. Result – a bevy of young Book Dragons.
Notes:
- I teach in Vancouver, British Columbia where I have professional autonomy on how to teach curricular competencies. I choose to teach them, wherever possible, through the lens of literature – my passion and strength.
- I purloined the term Book Dragon from Kathie MacIsaac, co-founder of MG Book Village
If you needed to compose a tweet length summary of your job description, what would it be?
You do know Twitter now allows 240 characters, yes? All teachers deserve more autonomy. And isn’t “purloined” a fabulous word.

Love the picture of a cauldron of literature with the spice added and allowing to simmer. I’d really have to think about a similar length description of what I do!

Love your resulting bevy! Your post inspired my post. Thanks for the inspiration to create something similar about my job of granny nanny.

I will mull the Tweet-size description challenge (it is much harder to saw few words than many). Right now I celebrate that you have profession autonomy with your curriculum – and that you hatch more book dragons.:)

Hatching book dragons seems like the best possible job! I really admire the craft here and the unexpected word choices–the cauldron of literature gives me this wonderful image of a big soup pot with favorite books swirling in it. (Also I am saving this idea for later this month. Thanks for the inspiration!)

Great idea, Book Dragon! Since i don’t Tweet, I’m not sure what the length would be but I enjoyed the post, just the same. Why? My husband is a Canuck as well, eh?
