In December, our 8th grade book club had the opportunity to Skype with author Conor Kostick. Mr. Kostick has written two books for young adults: Epic and Saga. Our book club read Epic, and we had lots of questions for Mr. Kostick. It was an excellent conversation, and a wonderful opportunity for our students.
Yesterday, we completed our second Skype session with author Susan Campbell Bartoletti. Ms. Bartoletti has written several books. Our book club read The Boy Who Dared, a historical fiction novel about a German teen during Hitler's regime.
Using Skype has given us the opportunity to have conversations with these authors, asking questions and gaining insight into the stories we have read. We look forward to more sessions with our favorite authors!
