Arts

[close] A sharing site for English Language Arts teachers from across Alberta hosted by the Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium and regional literacy leaders. The virtual bookshelves in this group highlight recommended titles for Gr 10-12 shared reading, book club and novel study collections. We invite all members to become active contributors to this group and continue to add books as new engaging titles are discovered. In the book description about why we should "read" this book, please add helpful details: - any cautions for the book - if it should be limited to a particular grade level - if you would use it as part of a thematic set - tasks that naturally extend from the theme of the book - tips for how you use this book with your students While we value great YA Lit and independent reading, this is not intended to be a general list of popular titles that we might recommend to our school libraries or suggest a student read on their own. Also, www.teachingbooks.net has generated lists of recommended novels K-12 and identified supporting resources (audiobook excerpts, links to author pages, sample lesson plans, etc.) for each of the titles on their lists. You are welcome to post direct links to their annotated titles in your description if you feel it would be helpful.

[close] We know that many of our supporters are self-isolating and social distancing to help delay the spread of the Coronavirus. We want to use our online platforms to encourage a love of literature and reading during these uncertain times. We are introducing Bob’s Book Club, a virtual book club. Together, we will vote on which book to read and discuss. The book club is completely FREE and ANYONE can join. We are currently trialling the Goodreads forum for the first few books and discussions. If you have any feedback, we would love to hear from you. Please email info@ilkleylitfest.org.uk. You voted and our next group read is... You voted and our next #BobsBookClub read is... ⭐️ Saving Lucia by Anna Vaught @bluemoosebooks ⭐️ You have over THREE weeks to read #SavingLucia. The discussion will take place the week commencing 25 May 🗓 But we want to hear from you... ⏰ What day and time you want #BobsBookClub discussions to take place? 💻 How you want the discussion to take place? Are you happy with the Goodreads platform or would you prefer another format or platform? To help spread the word, please share with your friends and ask them to share their current reads!

[close] I don't think there are that many photobook readers on GR, so here's a place where we can find each other!
