My Project

We are about to embark on a perilous journey down the path of encouraging students to read. It is fraught with adventure and with surprises around every corner. You have a choice, do you donate or do you not. ---turn to page ___.

Choose your own adventure books put the choice in your hands.

It gives rereading a book a new twist and gives each student a different perspective based on the choices they make. Doesn't this sound like life? It definitely gives us a a way to help students compare and contrast their personal adventure. It opens the door to discussing how reading a book is slightly different for everyone based on their own personal experiences. These books are just the roots for a tree of literacy to grow. Please help our team bring these amazing books into our classroom!
