Students choose a book from the classroom library that will inspire and motivate. They participate in literature circles and Socratic seminars that lead to the culminating book talk and presentation that inspires their peers to continue reading to become lifelong learners! The project challenges students to analyze literary texts and prepares them for college-level reading expectations. The novels also connect my students to each other, their home community, and the broader scheme of this world. They connect through ideas and emotions that help define who they are as people. They have the chance to live vicariously by opening themselves up to new thoughts and experiences.
