Bronson Alcott used to sit on a bench outside his home--Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts--and line up several apples beside him on the seat. He hoped the fruit would attract passersby for conversation. I've named my blog "Applepickers," because I hope people will stop by for conversation.
I'm starting this blog because we're working on how this kind of communication can help in the classroom. I'm thinking it will be great... I'll try it with my class and see what conversations start.
Have an apple!
