#bookspeeddating

It might be spring break, but I keep thinking back to a book speed dating activity my AP classes did the day before break started. AP Language and Composition life is very structured and formal with analysis and rhetoric, so I used this speed dating time as a way to reintroduce my students to choice in their reading selections. It was loud and slightly chaotic, but it was worth it to see many of them find a book they truly WANTED to read. Time well spent.
