Read Across America Theme: Reader’s Choice
Posters of student and teacher readers were hung around the school Monday for Read Across America Week.
March 2, 2015
The Bellwood-Antis High School English Department is celebrating Read Across America by holding separate theme days for each day of the week from March 2-6. Day One is Readers’ Choice Day.
As part of Reader’s Choice Day, Bellwood-Antis students and teachers were asked the question, “What’s your favorite book and why?” We received a variety of responses. Students had their pictures taken and displayed throughout school with their answers, as well as on the BluePrint.
Tyler Shultz
TYLER SHULTZ: Hamilton: Beyond Belief. It’s an inspiration how he beat addiction. It’s just too bad what’s happened to him lately.
Jules Lusk
JULES LUSK: The Last Lecture. It teaches you what’s important in life.
HANNAH CHERRY: The Book Thief. It was suspenseful, and it had meaning
GEOFF HOLLEN: I Am Number 4. I like that it’s about kids, and the idea of aliens looking like us, like they could be among us.
CAROLINE SHOWALTER: The Picture of Dorian Grey. Because I read it in AP lit and Ms. Trostle is my favorite teacher.
KELCIE DENNIS: The Fault in Our Stars. It’s an inspiring story and a good book.
CLAY ENGLE: The Call. It took me all eighth grade to read but I did it.
Sarah Winesickle and Lexi Crusciel
SARAH WINESICKLE: The Outsiders. It taught me a lot about not judging people just because they are different.
LEXI CRUSCIEL: The Storyteller. It kept me hanging; never a dull moment.
JACK SHOWALTER: Bleachers. It’s easy to relate to.
HUNTER CURREN: Green Eggs and Ham. Sam is an emotional guy and I feel I connect with him.
LYDIA EAMIGH: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It prepares you for high school.
PHOEBE POTTER: On the Road. It lets me escape the real world but also gives me a sense of freedom. It makes me want to explore the world.
