Vote for what book every NJ teen should read
FYI,
NJ Literacy campaign
–Teach For America/School & Public Libraries
“What book should every NJ teen read? Nominate now - and win a Kindle!
http://bit.ly/HFQi0b #1BookNJ”
Right now the trending titles are
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, and
The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.
This is a crowdsourcing project by Teach for America to identify the best book for teens - as voted by NJ. The top choice will be put in 53 local schools that are working
with Teach for America. All participants are eligible to win a Kindle. While Teach for America values an official reading list as much as the next person, they have more faith in you. The campaign runs from 11/11 – 12/16. It’s divided into 2 phases:
nominations (11/11 – 11/26) and voting (12/2 – 12/16 – anyone can vote on the top ten nominations). The campaign will be open to anyone: teen, adult, in school, out of school, etc. - essentially, anyone with an opinion and a working internet connection. There
are no guidelines. The campaign website where you can vote is
www.yourschoolsyourcall.org
