If you need ideas for Independent Reading Books (since you must choose one by next Friday!), consider celebrating Black History Month by reading a book by an African American author!
A few of my favorite African American authors of realistic teen fiction are:
Sharon Flake: Skin I'm In and Money Hungry are two great ones! (I have copies in class)
Sharon Draper: Tears of A Tiger, Forged By Fire, Darkness Before Dawn, and Romiette and Julio.
Walter Dean Myers: Too many to list, in a variety of genres! I have many books of his in classroom, among my favorites are: Monster, Handbook for Boys, and Slam
Here is the booklist link:
