Books to Grow

My students need books that will expand their view of the world around them.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Stewart's classroom raised $494

My Students

My discovering literature students love to read! However, they need to learn to discuss, connect, and relate to books with their peers. I want to use literature circles in my classroom to help my students learn to talk about books more like adults do in the real world.

My discovering literature students don't always like to talk.

They love to have their nose in books. I need to teach them to discuss and connect with books in a different way. I want them to make connections to themselves and the world around them. When they can talk and discuss their reading with their peers, their world view will expand even further.

My Project

I will use these books for literature circles. I want the literature circles to show students how to discuss their ideas in a group. I will give them materials to help with their discussion skills, but these dystopian novels will do most of the work. They all present new and intriguing ideas about our world. These books are new and exciting, but also timeless. I plan on using these books for many years. Each new group of students will see new ways that the ideas connect to the world. Students will be able to see how they fit into society and how we can shape the society we are in. Then they can discuss their ideas with their peers. This literature circle unit will cover the reading literature common core standards as well as the speaking and listening standards that are often missed or ignored. My students have high reading ability, but are lacking in speaking and listening skills.

These donations will help my students expand their world view by discussing their ideas and connections with their classmates.

Students will be able to better articulate their ideas through books that excite them.
