I am requesting a class set of an amazing book by Katherine Applegate titled, The One and Only Ivan and a small group set of the books,by Andrew Clements, Lunch Money. The One and Only Ivan is an incredible story about a Gorilla who must face danger and loneliness and become the protector of an unlikely friend. Lunch Money is a financial literacy story that takes a twelve year old into the stock market. Both novel studies will give my students a chance to read an extremely high interest novel together, while analyzing the development of characters over time, examining plot conflicts, and using the story as a mentor text for their own writing. We have to give our students a chance to read these kinds of incredible tales. Otherwise, they will never know that they existed. It only takes one amazing book to hook a reader for life. Once they are hooked, our students will be motivated to read on their own, and that is our ultimate goal.
