Lincoln, West Milwaukee and Frank Lloyd Wright Intermediate Schools are reading and discussing and finally choosing the book we feel should win the 2010 John Newbery medal. We will be working with D.C. Everest Middle School in Schofield, WI. Reading from the same list of titles, we will skype with the students at D. C. Everest as we discuss which books we think best meet the criteria of the Newbery. Each book listed to the left is on our list of potential winners. Students will be invited to be members of this blog and will add their comments to the Discussion tab on the book's page. One of the first projects for our students will be to write a "blurb" about the book they read and polish it for placement on the book's wiki page. A picture of the book cover will also be added to the first page by the students.
