Find two books that sound interesting to you, and write three sentences about why you'd like to read them.
The next time we're in the library, you'll look for these books!

Wow. Not as your student, which I am not, can you tell me the answer to this question?
ReplyDeleteWhat if the library you're sending your students to doesn't have some of the books your students want?
(Ahh hahaha, this isn't my account. It's my friend's... But please post one below me so I know.)
Hey Mr. B, when are we watching Beowulf again?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tsubasa... What if we can't find the books we want to read?
ReplyDeleteEven if you don't find the book, this exercise will help you focus on what kind of reading you're interested in.
ReplyDeleteYou can also search online for books in the San Francisco Public Library catalog. Go to http://sfpl.lib.ca.us/ and you'll see a "search catalog" window. Type in the name of the book and hit "enter;" you'll see which branch (if any) has the book, and whether or not it's checked out.
