LCJSMS Book Talks
As the intern in the Library Learning Commons at the Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School, I worked on various projects. One of those projects was a unit on independent reading, which was done in collaborating with eighth grade Language Arts teacher Grace Buonpane. These book talks were recorded to encourage students to choose independent reading books that would interest them.
