[CASL-L] Summer Reading 2021

[Polack, Lisa]

I shared this before, but I have a new video to add!

I work in a 7-8 middle school and did something a little different last
year.  I had the students fill out a digital scrapbook as a summer reading
challenge. I loved the way it came out!

My district featured our summer reading in this video that just went out.
It shows me talking a little about it and part of our celebration that we
had for students who worked on it. It was nice to be recognized.
You can start around 8 minutes 10 seconds to see my part.

I'll modify it for 2021 and mix up some of the challenges but I'm hoping
this summer even more will participate - maybe even more staff!

If you'd like your own copy, here's the blank slideshow

we
asked students to fill in and then submit in the fall.
