Ms. Leidahl's classes are working on a "Road-Map Book Report" using Newbery Award & Honor books. Students will create a timeline in the shape of a roadmap which will show important events from their chosen book. For part of the assignment, students visited the information center where Mrs. Hatcher gave a talk about the award's history. Newbery themed bookmarks and bibliographies were distributed to the class following the talk.
A few Newbery Titles:
Crispin: the Cross of Lead by Avi
Hope Was Here by Joan Bauer
Al Capone Does My Shirts by Gennifer Choldenko
The Watsons Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis
Pictures of Hollis Woods by Patricia Reilly Giff
Information Literacy Standard: Standard 5: The student who is an independent learner is information literate and appreciates literature and other creative expressions of information.
