[CASL-L] First Chapter Fridays

[Musket, Kimberly]

I love this idea! I was just talking to my middle school promote reading
club members about this. Our plan is to record teachers and promote
reading club members reading the first chapter of their favorite books and
sharing it with students and teachers each Friday. Barb, I like the idea of
creating a slideshow. I'm thinking of just keeping them all together and
resharing the slideshow each week so they can watch the ones that may
interest them. I'm also going to include some of the middle school ones in
Titlewave (Follett).
