My Project
I am requesting new copies of a book to read in class. This personal narrative by Anne Frank will help them connect to write their own. The students in my classroom need to read books so that they can discuss the big ideas with one another in order to gain a wider and deeper understanding of the book. Putting the same books in the hands of readers is vital for increasing reading levels among readers and stretching their ability to talk about their thinking that comes from the reading.
Establishing a reading habit with peers is one important benefit of the book clubs that makes future expectations not so hard to reach.
My students need multiple copies of literature to read in book club settings. The book clubs serve as a foundation for learning reading skills, practicing discussion techniques, and applying the literacy common core standards for mastery.
