Summer Challenge Task Ideas

[Sheila]

I tell you , you learn something new every day. Thanks Kara and Dee. That would be a great task Kara.

i remember liking the one we did last season that was words like sea/see...although apparently I haven't had enough coffee this am to remember what they are called...

I have seen a lot of you talking about the Queen and it made me think of Princess Diana...born the end of July and passed at the end of August...so how about a book that is with the words Princess, People, or Royalty in the title.

and since a lot of people seem to be born in the summer (me and four of my seven siblings are summer babies) maybe a book about birthdays or a book by an author with a summer birthday.

Also...I don't know about anyone else but usually summer makes me think of fair time, so maybe a book with the word fair in the title or subject.

Sheila, those would be homonyms. We could do something like that too.

Dee, homographs are words that are spelled the same way but have different meanings. Heteronyms ..."

This is so naughty of me but these always make me think of the f-word...LOL!!!

I just want to say that the holders for the summer tasks are up and driving me crazy!! Especially because I don't have internet at my house yet, so I won't be able to check them over the weekend!! Unless I go to the library... and while I'm there and have some new tasks... :}

[Sheila]

love my library

[Dee]

I don't want to make you crazy, Jennifer! I just want to prep as much as I can today- I can't post tasks until all the placeholders are in place

Thank you for prepping! Finally, a GOOD reason to get up when my cat starts meowing in my ear! ^_^ Can't wait for tomorrow.

[Jennifer W]

Hehe, I know. It wouldn't bug me if I could keep checking all weekend, but I can't. That's OK, it'll cheer up my Monday!

Thanks to everyone for some really great ideas for the Summer 2012 Challenge! The 5-15 point tasks and some 30 point tasks are up and the rest will follow in the coming days as they are available. The plan is to have the 20-25-30 tasks all posted by June 7. We hope you see something you like and that the tasks lead you to some great summer reads!
