This month, my class is participating in our very own March Madness Book Edition! Click here to read the posts I wrote this year and last year about how this idea came to action in our classroom and how we got started.
Last week, the students voted which two books would be in the championship round.
The Ascendance Trilogy by Jennifer Nielsen and One for the Murphys by Lynda Mullaly Hunt were the selected books!
These were the same two that were chosen last year for our Championship round! That shows how much kids love these books! As soon as I announced the championship round results, the reaction from students was, "No!! How are we going to choose between those??" Last year, the reaction from students was the same and it ended up being a tie when we voted for the winner so I will not be surprised if the same happens this year. Either way, I know it will be very close!
We will vote on April 7th so stay tuned!!
Amazing that it's the same again! I wonder what they'll do this time. If they're reading these, they "know" good books, don't they?
ReplyDeleteNow I'm dying to read both books! Have you considered retiring a book once it has won a year?
