Choose a book that you have read that you found interesting, inspiring, informative, or all of the above. Post the cover of your book and provide a SPOILERS FREE summary created by YOU ( not copy/pasted from an internet review). The point of this class padlet is to entice students to read and to share something that you enjoy. One of my goals within this class is to create a community of readers. 


This is due on Monday, September 13th, so you have some time to think about what you would like to post. NO DUPLICATE BOOKS! READ the padlet before you post in order to avoid multiple postings of the same book.

Claim: 
Evidence: 
Analysis:

What are the two, central ideas within the article? Provide at least three pieces of textual evidence to support your answer.
