Booker Middle School Eighth & Seventh Grade Reading
Currently we are reading Miracle's Boys, written by Jacqueline Woodson.
This is a heartrending story about three brothers who are "getting by" on their own after loosing both parents. Miracle's Boys was awarded the prestigious Coretta Scott King Award for books.
We are focusing on the skill of SUMMARIZING at this time. We have learned and are practicing the Shrinking Paragraph Strategy in order to improve summarizing skills. Summarizing is a critical skill for academic success. Each and every class throughout high school and college will require summarizing skills.
