Library Updates
These past couple of weeks, we've been busy working with teachers and students on a variety of projects. We've worked with...
- 8th grade English students for a research skills review game using Socrative (room name=ZVC366XQK)-- in preparation for the 8th Grade Writing SOL next week.
- 7th grade English students from a variety of classes on a Speed Dating with Books activity. Students went on a number of short book dates in order to meet some "just right" books. Click HERE to see the scorecard!
- All 7th grade English students on research skills lessons: evaluating websites and using Noodle Tools to create Works Cited pages.

Battle of the Books Update
As a reminder, Battle of the Books (BOB) meets on Thursday afternoons in Room 121--across from the library. We are currently reading and discussing this year’s Virginia Reader’s Choice books (in no particular order). We are asking all BOB members to fill out this form for each of the books that they read. Ultimately, the book questions that they generate will be used for practice rounds of our competition. To find out more about this club, please visit the Battle of the Books Website.

A Time-Traveling Adventure Fantasy... set (largely) in 1800's Honolulu. This is a fun book! It's atmospheric, and it has an interesting premise and diverse characters. There's also a sequel that just came out. Find out more about it! |
