My Project

The main reason I created this project is to spread the love of books and reading! Too many of our students hate reading and have no interest in it whatsoever. This book, The Worst Night Ever, by Dave Barry, helps to change that. It is funny, imaginative, and an entertaining book to read. We are lucky to have copies of Dave Barry's prequel, The Worst Class Trip Ever. We will read the first book and complete a lot of exciting lessons. They will be beyond excited to have the sequel, this excellent book!

Students will read this book in Literature Circles, where each 5th grader is responsible for a job/role for the group as they read sections of the text.

It is a great way to create ownership. This book will entertain all types of students. Everyone relates in some way and falls in love with the characters. Dave Barry did his job well! Students will never forget his books.

I teach grade 5 at Harold F Scott Elementary School in Warwick, Rhode Island. Our school is a whole of hard-working students and staff. We are a Title 1 school, meaning at least 40% of the student population is from low-income households. We have a Multi-Language Learner (MLL) Program with students from many countries as part of our school's community. We have students from France, India, Korea, China, and The Dominican Republic. All 5th-grade students will be included in the reading of this book!
