Description
This is a lit log by MrsDsEducationalTools for Count Me In by Varsha Bajaj, a realistic fiction about a hate crime. The book’s use of alternating chapters from a middle school girl’s and middle school boy’s perspectives, involving social media, and social justice theme make it an awesome choice for instructional purposes and to motivate reluctant readers. The themes of the book include: hate crimes, prejudice, social activism, multi-generational family, friends, and school.
The focus skills of the lit log are:
* cite textual evidence
* determine theme/central idea/summarize
* describe/analyze characters/plot
* explain/analyze points of view
Interest Level of Text: 9 years old and above
Reading Level of text: 4th/5th grade
This lit log can be used for distance learning, direct reading instruction (novel study, literature circle, book club, guided reading) and as a read aloud (for small or large group discussions).
I hope this lit log is helpful and promotes open discussions and social activism.
