REVIEW:
Book Raps provides students the opportunity to interact with other students from around the world. Students engage in discussions to formulate an understanding of the literature they read from a variety of cultural perspectives. Teachers will find resources for joining or coordinating a book rap as well as tips for writing about the book topic, archives of past Book Raps sorted by age level, and a newsletter for keeping informed. The Rap Calendar lists current Book Raps. Students can learn the Book Rap Lingo, participate in chat sessions, and subscribe to the students' newsletter.
