PROJLIT Book Club

Page history last edited by Ms. Love 5 years, 4 months ago

PROJLIT is coming to LRTA!

 

PROJLIT is a nationwide book club for students that is a proven way to engage students in reading. Focused on high interest titles which represent diverse viewpoints, the first meeting for the PROJLIT book club of LRTA will be November 15, 2018. Our focus for November and December will be books by Jason Reynolds and Kwame Alexander.

 

Any student who wishes to receive more information should see Ms. Love before or during homeroom. Parents and teachers are encouraged to participate, as well.

 

 

 

Using a literature circle format, students will be able to select one or more books during each session.  There will be four sessions during the school year. Click here to view the books that we will read during the school year.

 

Below are a few book trailers for our first session. Many of these book trailers are through YouTube. If you are a student, you may need to access these trailers outside of school.

 

With parent permission, use the hashtag #LRTAReads to share your insights via Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat.
