Summer Reading Recommendations
In an attempt to provide students with a varied-list of summer reading recommendations, I decided to fill a jar with post-it notes.
On each note is written the title of a book and four main plot points.
The goal is to have the students thinking about reading throughout the summer and having the ability to choose a book on their own by taking some hints and tips from the jar.
I'm going to put it out Monday and see what happens!

I love this jar idea! Are they taking them?
ReplyDeleteHi Colleen,
DeleteI decided to tie the jar to a "Great Summer Read" display so when a student pulled a card out I could say "It's right over there if you want to look at it," which was very effective. There were only 2 books left on the display by the end of the week. I'll probably continue this idea in some form or another next school year!
