While our focus is on the International Baccluareate sophomores using them to choose their Extended Essay research topic, many of the juniors (who finished their EE research papers last month) like to come by our office and check out books for their own free reading at home.

This will allow us to help all of our students who are at multiple reading levels, have special education needs, and may be English language learners. \r\n\r\nWe've also developed a weekly graphic organizer for students to fill out about what they read which asks them to pull out a piece of evidence regarding the climate crisis. Our hope is that at the end of reading the book in the spring, our students will use their new found knowledge and the evidence they've pulled from the text to write letters to their elected officials about what steps they believe should be taken to address the climate crisis. \r\n\r\nOur team also developed a google form to collect data before students start reading and then another form for after they are done, so we can compare and contrast their thoughts about reading and about their knowledge of the climate crisis. \r\n\r\nWe're so excited to get started in the new year!
