Book Talks

This week in social studies we all had a to give a book talk.  Earlier on in the semester we all had to choose a chapter book to read during the semester.  I chose to read Esperanza Rising.  I really enjoyed this book. The story was easy to read and follow.  This would be a great multicultural book for middle school students.  Through the book talk session I able to preview many other books wich I can use in my future classroom.  I am not a big reader, however I enjoyed being pushed outside of my box.  In order to be a good teachers I need to be aware of what books are out there for my students to read.  I also need to know what books my students should not read!
