Monday Night Chapter 12

Independent Reading.. yay.. This is why I love reading and buying young adult novels my classroom library will be packed with great titles and every student will find something they like.. This is a great way to help your students find books that will interest them, it will also give them one-on-one time. By reading independently the students can engage each other by doing book reports or projects to present to the class, also allowing them to learn from each other..

Great titles for Independent Reading: Ally Carter's Gallagher Girl series. A private all girls school known as the Gallagher Academy For Exceptional Young Women, is in Fact a school for future female spies. What better series for anyone into books of this kind. Another author would be Rick Riordan, and his Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. Generally more for a middle school reading level; however, for those who aren't able to read at a high school level this series would be a good one to read.. This series is also being made into a movie release date is Feb. 12, 2010..
