If the student couldnt participate because they didnt read, they didnt get any credit!]]> 2017-04-10 03:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahessimmons/89l4mj1b94g3/wish/165596109 sawhitley16 https://padlet.com/hannahessimmons/89l4mj1b94g3/wish/165603192 I would recommend getting them involved using movies that they may not know were originally books. That way they are more engaged knowing they will or could be turned into a popular movie. ]]> 2017-04-10 05:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hannahessimmons/89l4mj1b94g3/wish/165603192 mscott181 https://padlet.com/hannahessimmons/89l4mj1b94g3/wish/167154642 One thing you might do is to find some part of the book or author that has a cool story or caused some controversy at some period in its history. We all know that high school kids love drama so give it to them in a way that makes them want to find out for themselves what is going on with that book.
