Project Based Learning Meets Book Club: Weather and Climate Edition

Help me give my students choice in books because we are starting another book club in May and need copies of Zane and the Hurricane.

My Project

My students will participate in a second choice book club in May. Students enjoyed choosing their own texts for the first book club of the year, and I want to provide them with that experience again. The books selected will be weather and climate related. Students will be able to choose a book from a carefully curated list. We will also work on real world topics like hurricane preparation and storm tracking.

My students learn more when they are given authentic learning experiences.

Students are more likely to read when given a choice!
