We started today's class by reviewing our plan for free choice reading in class (see Monday's post for more information)
We then headed down to the library where people were to find a book they could start reading and to start building a list of books that might be good to read next.
The idea behind the "Next Reads" list is that there is something on deck to read when someone finishes a book or something to go back to and look at if one book falls flat so that someone can drop the uninteresting book and check out one that might be better.
On the "Next Reads" sheet it was also an option to add illustrations to the margin which represent areas of interest (types of books and/or life interests, hobbies, and activities). This can help people focus on what types of books they would like to find or can help us start some conversations around what kinds of books they are interested in. People are also welcome to get recommendations from friends and classmates about other books to read.
Extra copies of the reading sheets are available here: Recapture Reads.
Homework:
Start reading your chosen book!
