2013 Reading Challenge
I’ve looked into some Reading Challenges, and I decided to create my own personal Reading Challenge. I’m going to attempt two challenges this year. The first one is to read Coretta Scott King Award Books (CSK) and to read a minimum of 12 global books. I confess that I’ve read some of the CSK Books. However, I need to read them again and post my comments and any applicable lesson plans, activities, or resources that tie-in to the book.
In addition to the African American Historical Events posts, I will also begin posting the books I am reading for my challenge.
