My Students

My students are outgoing,interesting and motivated. They are always looking for new books to read but have a hard time finding titles that appeal to them. I am always looking for new ways to engage them in exciting, new stories.

My Project

My students are always struggling with finding books that appeal to their interests. My goal this year is to introduce my students to stories in which they can see themselves. I will be using a new, self-sustaining system for book recommendations where students answer questions and choose a book based on their responses. The books from this project have been carefully selected to appeal to a wide range of interests. I want to get a high interest book into the hands of EVERY one of my students this school year!
