My Project

One of my favorite parts of teaching English to high school students is connecting with them through discussions about books, whether they come to me looking for a specific book or come to me recommending that I read a specific book.

What better thing to do during the early cold days in the year than to read summer-inspired books full of sunny days and warm friendships!

With the rise of "BookTok" on social media, which includes users sharing their latest reads, I have noticed an increase in my students' interest in reading again! Some students come in and only like reading a particular genre or length! With this project, I hope to start building a bookshelf they have helped create! I want to fill it with books they request as well. Books can take you on all the adventures without moving from the comfort of your seat!

I look forward to watching them grow their love of reading, and our bookshelf evolve to their needs!
