Your grade 9 students will attend the “Best Fiction for Young
Adults – Revolution” project launch on Monday, October 14.
This
year-long literacy project takes place in the Education in the Digital Age
course. We are encouraging students to
unplug from their technologies and get back into reading for pleasure.
