My Project

Dear Martin was such a popular book choice for my 10th grade, English II classroom. Because of this, not every student who wanted to read it had the option to. I am asking for a class set of 30 novels and a study guide for myself. I would like to use the book as a bell ringer. Meaning we would start class with a chapter per day. I have done this same routine with other class books, and this really helps my students start off class right. The novel project with this book would revolve around the theme of the book, for our standard is addressing theme. The novel is popular and engaging, which is just what my 10th graders needs right now.
