Anytime a student doesn't know what to read, I send them to the Green box. You really should read at least one--I'd recommend The Fault in Our Stars. Beautifully written. So many great lines, I quit writing them down. I also loved Looking for Alaska, as do my students.<br /><br />Happy ReadingDeb Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861392500601183208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-887210982915389572.post-64382518252687666832012-09-25T11:57:36.974-04:002012-09-25T11:57:36.974-04:00Sounds like you had a blast!
