Miss Mulhernās Mock Newbery 2009 This fall, we will be reading and enjoying a variety of novels as part of our daily read aloud. While these novels will be very different- various genres, authors, and topics- they will all have one thing in common. Each book we share as a class from September to January will be eligible for the Newbery Award in January. I have chosen the following books for our class mock Newbery:
During our daily read aloud you will be responsible for listening and participating in class discussions. In early January, we will spend two weeks studying the Newbery Award criteria. Once we are familiar with the criteria you will use them to write an essay wherein you choose the book most deserving of the Newbery Award, supporting your choice with the criteria. We will then choose a class Newbery Award via secret ballot. On January 26th we will come together as a class to view the live webcast of the awards. Hopefully, one of our read alouds will win the Medal or an Honor!
