Build A Book

Combine reading and geography to bring the world to your students. Divide up your classroom into groups of three or four children, and assign each group a continent. Have students research their assigned continent and type up at least three pages of information about it. When the task is complete, edit the text and make enough copies for each student. Then combine all the pages into books, in which each continent is a separate chapter. Pass out a copy of the book to each student, and have students read the sections they worked on aloud to the class. Give each child a “Read Here, There and Everywhere” Key Tag and a “Star Reader” Pencil Topper.
