Mrs. Schwebach's
Book Picks and Pathfinder
I am asked everyday “Mrs. Schwebach,
what is a good book?” Well, below I have your answers. I have listed some of my favorite books. If
you like the book I have listed, then you will probably like the other books I
recommended to go with it. I tried to
make this Pathfinder helpful for everyone: Readers, Parents, and Teachers. If you look at each table, you will notice I
have it broken up into three categories: More on book topic, If you liked….., and Lesson Plans. The
More on Book Topic column is for additional information on the subjects
presented in the book. I know that when
I finish a really good book I am curious about events, topics, places that
occurred in the book. The sites I listed
here will help aid you in answering some of questions you may want answered
after reading the book. If You Liked…. column is other books I
recommend that are similar to the main book I recommended. Lesson
Plans are for teachers to use to help in teaching or talking about the
books. Students can use this to if they
want to do a project on the book they read.
I hope you find this Pathfinder helpful in your search for a good
book.
