My Students

My students are curious about the world that is ahead of them. They are constantly asking questions and often finding their own answers. For most of my students, it is their first time in middle school. In this new school, they are navigating their way through the halls and through the characteristics of the people they want to be. This is a time in their lives where their responsibilities, expectations, and goals are changing along with them. I would like to supply my classroom with books that are age-appropriate and with main characters that are going through some of the same challenges and choices my students are.

My Project

The project, Readers Reading, is about suppling students with new and exciting classroom books that engage and challenge the readers. Once a month, I do a small project that demonstrates why the students should read this book. The student's initial excitement and interest over these books are what gives them the drive to read.

However, with the excitement over one book, the line and waitlist to check it out can be months long.

This wait can make the student forget the initial excitement. Therefore, I need more books with either the same type of genre or author.

After a student has finished reading a classroom book, they will then give their own demonstration of the book. I will allow for three different options and the student will be able to pick the option best suited for themselves. Each option will have a rubric for the student to follow and will be graded on a 1-4 scale.

Thankfully, books have a long life span with repairs being as quick and easy as a piece of tape. These books will be around for a very long time both in my classroom and in the minds of those who read them.
