As part of a language arts or reading program, students read novels throughout the school year. Some of the novels are assigned, read, and discussed "all class." Others are chosen by the students individually, and they keep individual reading lists. Students may be required to read a certain number per marking period, per school year, and over the summer. Some may be classics; other trade novels, but all contribute to the overall reading and comprehension abilities of the students.


This unit can be done as a culminating activity for the school year. Students are asked to choose their two favorite novels from the ones they have read. They write reviews and post them online for students in their own school, in other schools, across the United States, and in other countries to read. The student reviews not only help student readers clarify their own understanding of literature, they also provide a "student-to-student" resource. Other students can choose novels based on opinions of their peers. The students review the novels, write descriptions that will appeal to other readers, and indicate the level of reading difficulty. They do this to help others choose novels suitable for their reading levels.

A free eBook about Learning 2.0 - the blending of traditional learning approaches with the new tools of the social Web (blogs, wikis, social networks, etc.). It intended as a general introduction to how approaches to learning have evolved over time and what impact the new technologies dubbed “Web 2.0” are having.

Book Search works just like web search that recommends books based on keywords and related books. When Google finds a book with content that contains a match for your search terms, they’ll link to it in your search results.

For some books and literature, Book Search allows users to browse online book content. Book search has also created reference pages for every book to allow users to quickly find relevant information such as book reviews, web references, maps and more.

One of the most useful, if often-overlooked, features of Google Book Search is the ability to enter your own books and create a personal library which you can then search if Google has scanned those books. (And chances are it probably has). If you are trying to find a passage or a factoid you once read but can’t remember the book no matter how hard you wrack your brain, the ability to search your personal library can come in handy. Except who wants to enter each book one at a time?
