Teachers, save “What do you recommend? A Curation Project” to assign it to your class.

Have you ever read a “Top 10” or a “Best of” list? Then you've read a CURATED LIST. To CURATE is to collect items (books, videos, images - anything) that all have something in common.

What do you notice? 2. Choose a title for your list. Here are some ideas: BEST 3 BOOKS ABOUT (TOPIC) 3 BEST ADVENTURE BOOKS BEST 3 BOOKS ABOUT HISTORY 3 BOOKS ABOUT COURAGE 3 BOOKS in SCHOOL SETTINGS 3 BOOKS ABOUT FAMILY Or choose your own title! 3. Include books you've read before, or read new ones in our room, at the Hub, or on Epic.
