What a day! We had book talks by students in every class period. Nineteen books were covered, some more than once. Among the list of talked about books were both familuar titles and a couple of new titles. Several series were promoted by student readers: The Harry Potter Series, The Shadow Children Series, The Maxium Ride Series, Houns and Me and of course The Twilight Series. A few of the individual titles recommended by students included: Blind Faith, Lilys Crossing, Touching Spirit Bear, Eldest, Everlost, Crush, Abarat, Nothing But the Truth, The Sign of the Beaver, Vladimir Tod and Paint the Wind.
We also reviewed craft and literary terms and genre today. Study guides are due tomorrow.
