My Project

These multiple copies of books will allow my students the opportunity to participate in our district wide BoB Contest with the other Middle School's in my District. BoB (Battle of the Books) is a reading trivia club. Students will work in groups to read and comprehend these books, and then compete against teams within their school before they can move onto the district competition. Student engagement in this activity is very high and will help support a love of reading.

These books will appeal to diverse readers and students will read them and get to collaborate and work with teams and their school as well as within our district.
