This hands-on, research-based resource will help. Covering 100 titles, it guides you to topics, themes, values, and activities that meet national and state standards. The book's organization--by genres, topics, and themes--will enable librarians to serve customers with specific requests and help teachers build thematic units. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing on recent young adult fiction and nonfiction (2010-2014), the guide offers a succinct plot summary, links to popular themes and genres, indication of reading levels, and an engaging booktalk for each title. It also includes guidelines for further promoting each book and extending knowledge through discussion. The author, a former middle and high school teacher, demonstrates how you can foster close reading through paraphrasing, comparison, and response and explains how to strengthen critical thinking among teens. Lists of related titles and notes on gender appeal can be used for readers' advisory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucy Schall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144083492X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440834929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Lucy Schall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056996446463,"sku":"9781440834929","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f85eae17-7aef-48d6-a1a1-0626a9ea967d.jpg?v=1685044437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/promoting-great-reads-to-improve-lucy-schall-9781440834929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
