Students on Team 7-1 have an opportunity to earn extra credit for Quarter 4.
Published author Mitali Perkins is visiting Chenery Middle School on Wednesday, April 29th and will be speaking with the 7th grade. In preparation for her visit, I've created a classroom display of the young adult novels she has written. For those of you at home, check out the virtual bookcase to the right of this post in order to see Ms. Perkins's novels. If the bookcase does not appear because your web browser doesn't recognize it, you may access the bookcase by clicking on the following link - http://www.shelfari.com/nilesenglish/shelf. More information about Ms. Perkins is located on her website - mitaliperkins.com
Here's where the extra credit opportunity comes in. If students are interested, they should choose a novel by Mitali Perkins that is displayed in the classroom, read the novel, and create four open-ended questions that they would ask her if they got the opportunity. A directions sheet for this assignment is available in the classroom.
I have a limited number of Mitali Perkins novels, but the Chenery library has PLENTY! Students should check the library if they are having trouble obtaining a copy of a Mitali Perkins novel.
