The M&Ms are doing Book Babbles! There are three parts: a written summary and reflection, a creative project, and an oral "babble" to the class. The two main objectives of this assignment are to support their book clubs and RARE reading by thinking about what they're reading and to encourage the love of reading by learning about a lot of great books. Part of their oral presentation will be giving recommendations to their friends. They were given the assignment and rubric last week. Ask them about it. They have signed up to present their first Book Babble sometime during this first 9 weeks. They will give one during each 9 week grading period.
