Read one book per week: you need to write about three books from the list and one book that you selected yourself. (published after 2010)
How to get a passing mark:
-Make sure your project encourages students to engage with the book's topic(s) and culture(s).
-Do NOT hand-in lesson plans.
-Use active work forms and link them to the higher levels of  Bloom's Taxonomy.
-The criteria need to be based on the target group->what do they need? This has to be supported by cognitive needs and interest (use Appleyard & Erikson)

Why I teach this course
-Last year, my school 'gave' 3H and 3V a set of Blackbirds books.
-Job pressure&busy life
-Ask for time to develop new material!

What should schools do: scaffold these books for students by providing engaging supplements to the novel of which the EN level is too high. If we choose novels based on , students would be stuck reading children's books.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

-Last year, my school 'gave' 3H and 3V a set of Blackbirds books. The instructions were as follows: you should be able to get the gist of these books now, you can ask the teacher questions about it in class, but you read it on your own. At the end you'll get a multiple choice test.
-Job pressure&busy life made it impossible to fix this after I got my Bachelor's.
-Ask for time to develop new material!

What should schools do: scaffold these books for students by providing engaging supplements to the novel of which the EN level is too high. If we choose novels based on , students would be stuck reading children's books. Or, as is now, read books that are too difficult for them, provide no help and expect them to pass a multiple choice test.
Create your group of 4-6 people

What could make good selection criteria?
-Scan ‘What makes a great novel for children?

-What ideas can you gather for topics which you could write criteria about which would help you select a good book?
-Does the article give any reasons why those things are important?
-Gather preliminary quotes and write an APA reference!

-You will need to justify your criteria with theory from Appleyard and Erikson, so it will help if you have topics to focus on while reading.

Getting prepared
Consider the groups you will be teaching this year / would like to be teaching in the future. 
Pick one group to be your target group for the Young Adult Reading Project.
Answer the following questions about them as best you can. Find out the answers to questions you don’t know/are not sure of this week:
How old are they?
What are their interests (outside of school – as people, not students)
What is their reading behaviour (n general, don’t focus too much on L2 reading as the idea is to change this)
What is their language level? What opportunities/challenges does this present?
Discuss your answers with your group.

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Personal book choice
Based on your knowledge of their age, interests, reading habits and language level start researching young adult novels published since 2010 which may be suitable for your target group. You will need to read the book and review whether it would be suitable, why/why not, for the final assignment.
Start doing some research and brainstorm with your group.
