On this page of the website, you will find various links and YouTube videos that we have created and found. These videos go along with the novel, The Future of Us. The first few videos are book talks, passage reads, and a book review we created and we encourage you to use them in your classroom as well. Having students make their own book talks, passage reads, and book reviews engages them with text much more than just reading because they need to analyze the text deeply make connections to the text. Creating book talks, passage reads, and book reviews are a wonderful way to incorporate technology into your classroom as well!
