Book Reviews

In addition to writing, our students are also reading novels, some for the first time in their lives. Depending on the students' levels, they are either participating in a organized book club or reading novels independently. In some cases students are doing both!

Once students finish a novel they write a review. We are not currently publishing those book reviews here. Currently, we have the students signed up for Goodreads.com and are using that as an online platform for a sort of virtual book club.

Some of the books students have read in 2014 include:

• The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Ernest J. Gaines
• Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo
• Money Hungry by Sharon Flake
• Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman
• The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
