[CASL-L] First Chapter Fridays--High School?

[Melissa Thom]

Hello All!

My 8th grade ELA teacher does First Chapter Friday most weeks and sometimes
I go in to read. I also created a Flipgridtopic  with the idea that I could
record a first chapter and she could use it if I am not able to be there in
person that day. Hoping to invite other teachers and students to record so
we will have a library of options.

And I saw the Follett resource this weekend on Twitter--it looks pretty
great!
