3.5
3.5 STARS --> Saved several ideas and refreshed my mindset for summertime + heading into a new school year. There were several sections of value, ones I'd like to apply to my own Social Studies classroom, specifically: read aloud selection and implementation, historical fiction and nonfiction selections for classroom library + building engagement in those more "boring" genres, etc. -- Leaving the Reading classroom after two years, I feel the pull to still include roughly 15/20 minutes a week for reading aloud to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade history students.
*I was turned off a bit by the author at times, I won't lie. I did my best to just swallow it and move on, highlighting the morsels that I wanted to take away and apply to my own space. Reading this in 2024 did feel a bit dated, in some sections.
