Students will write a short letter describing why they would like to be in the "Breakfast with Books" club.
10-12 students will be chosen to join the "Breakfast with Books" book club.
Each student will be issued an iPod, iPad, Kindle or Nook for checkout.
Students will then choose a book that everyone will read.
Students will take the device home, read the required reading for the week and make notes or comments on the device.
Students will meet once a week before school to discuss the required reading and eat a light breakfast that each student will take turns providing.
Cross-Curriculum Ideas
These devices could also be used for many other common core curriculum projects.
