My Project

In today's world students are trapped in the technology universe. This project will help me put students back into books, and build their imagination with the use of strong, engaging novels. Each novel is a different genre and has a variety of entertaining value. I love hearing students thoughts after they have read a good book. They shock themselves with the critical thinking that they develop. My students get so engrossed in the stories that they are upset when they have to wait for the next class to find out what is happening with the characters they learn to love. Putting actual books back in their hands rather than on the screens.
