[AISLE-Share] Fwd: Readers Incentive Program

Tue May 22 09:40:46 CDT 2018

I have kids fill out a google form with 5 questions that could fit any
book.  They have to pick 1 question.

examples of questions -
Which character would save in the event of a natural disaster and why?
Create an alternative ending that includes at least 3 characters.
Pretend you are a librarian suggesting this book to someone, what would you
say?
Who do you think the author intended as the audience for this book and why?
