The Mock Newbery Club meet for the 1st time last week. Since I didn't decide to do a Mock Newbery club until a couple of weeks ago the students were already reading Wonder. They really enjoyed the book and the message it sent. They wrapped up reading Wonder, wrote a precept, and responded to a blog question. This was great practice for their upcoming Newbery reviews.
Students also learned about the Mock Newbery and selected their 1st books. I am really excited about the change in the book club this year. I think evalutating the texts and looking at them critically will only enhance my students reading experience.
The first list includes:
Navigating Early by Clare Vanderpool
The Water Castle by Megan Frazer Blackmore
Rump: The True Story of Rumplestiltskin by Liesl Shurtliff
Lincoln Grave Robbers by Steve Sheinkin
Jinx by Sage Blackwood
