You could impact the lives of our future generation! I teach Language Arts to 2 classes of very diverse 4th grade students, some of which are ESOL students (English is their second language). My students have varying learning abilities and to help one another, we work together in partnerships and small groups. To motivate our learners and promote literacy, our school has a "Battle of the Books" for students in 3rd through 5th grades. There are 15 books which have to be read and mastered by my 4th grade team. My 4th grade team will compete against other teams in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. This is a positive, highly motivating reading event that takes place all year. Students are reading, studying each book in depth, until the end of the year when the battle takes place. My school started this last year, and the students were "on fire" with reading these highly motivating, award-winning books.
