Course Description

This learning community, designed for elementary and middle school teachers and media specialists, will explore the best chapter books for students in grades 3-8. Participants will work toward discovering books that will suit their own unique student groups. Books discussed will be predominantly those that have won The American Library Association's Newbery and Printz Medals. Participants will begin an annotated journal appropriate to their distinct student audience and compile books lists, professional reviews, and personal reactions in a format of their choice: digital or paper. Specifically we will investigate GoogleDocs and LibraryThing as tools. Together we will explore recommended online book review websites to help compile appropriate reading lists. The instructor will share her own extensive lists of favorites.
