Book Studies: Not just for English Class

About this Presentation
This presentation is definitely not an end all be all on how to run a book study; it is an attempt to help you think outside the box and create an interesting project for your students.

I hope to encourage attendees to ask questions and participate in the presentation, to create more odfa discussion than lecture; hopefully I am successful with their help.

Edmodo Group Code
The Edmodo group code will be handed out before the presentation at TRETC 2016 and PETE & C 2017. If you are not in attendance but would like to access the group please feel free to email me at mrdsal [at] gmail.com

About my Projects
I came across this idea last school year, when I wanted my Honors US History and Government I class to read a work of historical fiction. I believe students should be exposed to the cultural aspects of the various eras we study, not just the basic historical facts of each era.

As I moved up to Honors US History and Government II, along with my students, I needed to come up with a Summer Reading Project for them to work with. All of our honors classes have a summer reading component.
