Hi everyone!
As you most probably know, I love using social media and posting ideas, suggestions, and compelling things online. Over the break, I decided to put my social media usage to even better use by creating more interest around the vast number of books I have in my classroom library. Thus, in an effort to get more students (and staff!) reading, I am going to be posting a “Book of the Week” here on my digital portfolio.
Each week, I will copy the blurb from a selected book into a blog post along with some information about the author. I will then feature the book in my classroom window. My hope is that this idea will garner enough traction that even more books get checked out (literally and figuratively) from my classroom.
If you have any book suggestions, please let me know. I have enough books set aside right now to keep me going until Chinese New Year, but I’d love to hear from other people as well. Which books do you recommend for others?
Don’t forget to watch this space for my weekly update! Cheers!!
Hi Uzay!
Love this! Wondering if this is a great space for you to share a booksnap too? I take them usually when I’m doing research-like reading–but it is also a great way to capture a beautiful sentence.
