The materials I am requesting will go towards making and in class book club. Many of my students are behind in reading because they think it is boring and never read unless force them to. I hope to create reading partners that will complement each other. These partners will spend time researching the books available for book club (those I have requested). I have tried to choose books with a variety of cultures and races, however, I have leaned toward Latino and Central American, as most of my students have ties to this culture. Some examples are the Track series by Kwame Alexander, Esperanza Rising by Pam Munoz Ryan, Wonder by RJ Palacio, Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga, and Front Desk by Kelly Yang. Once a choice is made, the real fun begins. Every day students will get together to read, discuss, and learn from one of these books. I hope reading a book with a peer will encourage students to persevere, to look at different perspectives, and to appreciate the rich lessons we can learn from the written word. In order to encourage students to finish the books, I have also requested some simple prizes. Once a partnership has finished their book and presented it to the class, each student will get to choose a prize, as well as get a stamp in their reading passport.
