As I move through my final year as a graduate student, I find myself busier and busier, and I know that's not going to change. It does go a long way toward explaining why I only read one book in September, though :)
But I would like to start to change something on this blog. In one of my education classes, we have been discussing how to recommend books to our students, especially considering reading level and what's content appropriate for a high school student and about a dozen other issues. So I'm going to try something a little different and see if I like it -- I'd like to start thinking about whether or not I'd recommend books that I read to my students. Of course, not everything I read is good, which is a major consideration, but beyond that, I'd like to be able to share this blog with my students, and I think that best way to hopefully get them interested in reading some of what I've read is to make it relevant to them.
I really want my students to want to read, I want them to see that reading can be fun and it's not boring the way school makes it seem. And I think that I can start to show them that through this project.
