While I'm not on the summer reading committee(s) that decide the lists for my students, I tend to always cause some conflict....because I like to provide a "NOT REQUIRED SUMMER READING LIST" of great, best-selling, hot, edgy, summer books for each level (middle school and high school). The first time I did it, I used all of the ALA lists--- here's this year's list: http://www.ala.org/ala/yalsa/booklistsawards/booklistsbook.htm When I put a small blurb with the title and author--- with colorful paper--- the lists were taken by the students when they returned their books. I also offered the lists to my English teachers (telling them that these were extra books that --if they had time-- the students might like to read). The kids loved it!! You have time!! Create your own "Not Required Summer Reading" lists....and keep guiding the kids to the great books that you know they WANT to read! ~Shonda Shonda Brisco, MLIS US / Technology Librarian 4200 Country Day Lane Fort Worth Country Day School Fort Worth, TX 817.732.7718 ext. 339 "We can't wait for somebody outside of ourselves to rescue us, because nobody is coming to the rescue..." ~ Ross Todd, Professor School of Communications, Information, and Library Studies, Rutgers University sbrisco@fwcds.org http://www.fwcds.org/campus/libraries/default.asp -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
