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.

Aimee R, Thank you for your positive feedback and letting me know that you used this resource primarily with disabilities. I also worked with students with learning difficulties. They benefitted from lit log reading supports. This has been one of the best books that I have read in the last few years, and I am so excited to see it being read and discussed! Here are some other lit logs that I have written on Google Docs that are at similar reading levels and have current, real life themes: * A Good Kind of Trouble (by Lisa Moore Ramée) * The Vanderbeekers to the Rescue (by Karina Yan Glaser) * From the Desk of Zoe Washington (by Jane Marks) * Chirp (by Kate Messner) Thank you again for the positive feedback. Stay safe, "Mrs. D"

Daisy, Thank you so much for the very positive feedback and letting me know about the students who used the resource. I absolutely loved that book, and I hope that many students get a chance to read it. Some other books at about the same reading level that I have written a lit log for on Google Docs are: * A Good Kind of Trouble (by Lisa Moore Ramée) * From the Desk of Zoe Washington (by Janae Marks) * Leaving Langston (by Lesa Cline-Ransome) * For Black Girls Like Me (by Mariama J. Lockington) * The Vanderbeekers to the Rescue (by Karaina Yan Glaser) * Chirp (by Kate Messner) * The Only Black Girls in Town (by Brandy Colbert) Just a few other books that I recommend for your students and that I have PDF documents (that teachers can use TPT Digital Tools to modify for distance learning) are: * Efrén Divided (by Ernesto Cisneros) * What Lane? (by Torrey Maldonado) * The Truth as Told by Mason Buttle (by Leslie Conor) * Finding Langston (by Lesa Cline-Ransome) * The Usual Suspects (by Maurice Broaddus) * The Vanderbeekers and the Hidden Garden (by Karina Yan Glaser) * Stay (by Bobbie Pryon) Thank you again for the feedback. You made my day! Stay safe, "Mrs. D"
