Popular YA Resources
I use popular YA titles in my high school classroom in a variety of ways. My favorites are to offer popular YA titles as free-reads, Book Club Bundles, Literature Circles, and whole unit plans. My YA titles dependably capture the interest of both my strong and reluctant readers alike! They're always a win!
Book Club Bundles
Have you ever struggled to effectively and efficiently manage independent reading?
For years, I struggled with executing Book Clubs in my high school English classes. I had trouble keeping students accountable, and too many were able to “fake” completion. I couldn’t effectively track my students’ reading targets or comprehension because they all had different books with different reading timelines. Another issue with keeping students accountable was the fact that I hadn’t read most of the free-reading books they chose. I had to assess the students’ reading by assigning book reports. I felt defeated every time I read a plagiarized book report (which was more often than I’d like to admit).
My Book Clubs were not doing what I wanted them to do, so I imagined a new format that would increase student engagement, reduce faking and plagiarism, and save my time overseeing it all!
