I love this book!

I love this book! That's right, I said it... I love a book! I can't wait to teach this to my students. Each 'chapter' is its own new story which keeps students interested!

I don't know what else to say but READ IT! :)

Also....

Guardians of Ga'hoole was a huge hit with my grade 7 student! I gave her the book three weeks ago and by the time we saw each other again on Monday she had read books 1-4 and was working on book 5! FANTASTIC! So I HIGHLY suggest the book!

The bad news is.... is that I hadn't read it so I couldn't really talk much with her about it but I will try to get some ideas over the weekend to chat with her about it on Monday! Hopefully there is a webpage with resources out there somewhere!

Also, my grade 9 student read 'Hard Love' and she really liked it. We also had a lot of things to say about the book and to discuss. Luckily, I had read this book in a previous EDCI class and had noted a few important things to talk about. However, I think I would definitely have to read over it again, take notes, high light, add sticky notes etc.

Another new book...

I just bought this book from my work. I know it has just come out in theatres but that could be a fun 'compare and contrast' essay topic! And who doesn't love watching a movie as homework!!

Yesterday I bought 3 new books to add to my teacher's library...

The hunger games...... for my grade 7/9/10 ESL students..it is suppose to be pretty gripping



Grade 7, 9, 10 students who are interested in Fiction/Fantasy novels



Grade 6 ESL student

Has anyone read any of these books? What do you think? I will try to start reading them during observation week (if I get a head on my school work).

I think what I'm going to do is get my grade 7, 9, and 10 students to write a book report type thing on a book they have chosen. That way I can start my Student Review Library which keeps reviews students have made of books they have read so my future students can have something to read to help them choose which book to read next!
