Kate is always late...with assignments

My computer is a piece of junk. My internet is sort of working. It is kind of frustrating. Any moment now my computer could just decide to stop working. It already told me that my C drive is filthy. I don't even know what that means.

I found some sites that list audio books for a teen audience, since that is an assignment . My biggest problem is finding books that my students can connect to.

Here is a link to a book version of this internet search:

All the books I want webquests on don't exist: The White Darkness by Geraldine McCaughrean, The Book Thief and I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak, and Slam by Nick Hornby. So I guess that means I have to make them. What a sad webquest that would be!

Here is a site that links you to other webquests (that I am not interested in, but you might be):

I hate my computer. I will discuss this issue more in my next blog: Viva la Kate and Death to technology and all its friends.
