Ways to keep up with The Big Read

The Greater Grand Forks Big Read now has a blog, which makes it easy to keep up with what's going on. Click here to visit the blog.

On the Rainy River is one the pieces in Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. The story chronicles how the narrator, also named Tim O'Brien, toys with fleeing to Canada to avoid war. He makes his decision on the Rainy River. (O'Brien's The Things They Carried is the book selection for the Greater Grand Forks Big Read)

The Prezi below illustrates not only what the story is about but also just what a Prezi can do. And it also shows the kinds of resources teachers and students can create about what they study.
