  • Hi Anthony!

    I’ve heard about the book, Five Feet Apart, I was always interested but never got the chance to read it. I’m so glad you liked the book and I would definitely add this book to my list! Sounds so interesting! I like the theme you mention in your ATS about risk-taking. I think if you talked about this in class, you would get lots of different answers from the students.

    Hi Connor!

    I like the background you used for your ATS. Very appealing! I like the pre-activity you would do with your class before reading the book. I think that would get them interested in reading the book and they would be able to see if their thinking has changed on those topics after reading.

    Hi John!

    I like your formatting of your ATS! It is very fitting with your book. I like the theme that you mention about manipulation. I think it would be a very fun and interesting topic to talk about with your students!

    Hi Tatiana!

    I like the pictures you added to your ATS! It gives a certain level of suspense because one of the characters is not who they claim to be. I like the theme that you mention about how lies can really hurt someone. This can be a great topic to talk about with your students and see how there can be different perspectives on this point.

    Hi Susan!

    This book sounds very interesting. This book would bring light to students about refugees and what some of them have to go through. This book can also be taught in a history class and can help students make connections with the book!

    Hi Safa!

    I love the layout of your ATS. The different colors really complement each other. I like the theme you talk about, femininity. I think this topic would be great to talk about with students and see what they think about this. I like how you would ask your students what femininity means to them, as they can all have different perspectives on this.

    Hi Arianna!

    I love how you set up your ATS. The colors and the layout of everything fit so well. I like how you talk about self-acceptance. This can definitely be a topic that can relate to the students, especially in high school. I think it would be a great topic to talk about and a great conversation starter.

    Hi Brian!

    The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm sounds like a very interesting book. I think a lot of students would like this book as it also has some fantasy aspects in it as well. The themes you mention would also be great to talk about with the students.

    Hi Nicole,

    The book, Dear Martin, sounds like a good book to read with students. It is important that we talk about the hard topics in a safe and welcoming environment. The students can talk with each other about how they feel about the topic and can relate to one another.

    Hi Yuqi,

    I like the formatting of your ATS. The pictures complement your text very well. I like the theme you talk about, we can definitely talk about injustice and racism in the classroom. Students can voice their opinions and connect with one another.

    Hi Victoria!

    I love how you set up your ATS. You used different shapes for your text boxes, it looks very nice! I like the theme you talk about, how families can be different. I think it is important to talk about this with our students. That we are all different and have different cultures and it is perfectly okay and we need to accept each other for who we are.

    Hi Erin!

    This sounds like a super fun book to read! I think the students would enjoy reading the book even more. I like the idea of how the characters just live their life to the fullest, knowing they only have 1 day to live. And then the consequences of their actions start to come up. I think it’s important to talk about actions and the consequences of such actions with the students. Sounds like an awesome book!

    Hi Caroline!

    I loved this book as well. The topic you chose is great to incorporate in the lesson. The theme of friendship and supporting one another is so important and we should talk about it with our students. I remember reading this with 5th graders as well. They loved the book!

    Hi Rachel!

    I love the formatting of your ATS! Very appealing and connects with the text. I like the theme you talk about. I think it’s important to talk about how far you can go with the support from your friends.

    Hi Zizhen!

    I like how you set up your ATS! I like how this book centers around WWII. I think a lot of students will learn more about WWII as they read this book. It would be great to connect history lessons as well.
