We're about halfway through the year and before we know it the season of "Mock" will be here! You know, when we read the current year's best of the best titles with students to try and figure out what will be presented at the Youth Media Awards next February! I love sharing new titles with students, getting them to understand the award criteria and look deeper into these stories.
Today I'm looking at some titles that I have on my Mock Geisel long list. These are books that the current Geisel committee may be taking a look at. If you know anything about my past Mock Geisel history, you'll know I usually get one title right! Not all of these titles will end up on our school's 2018 Mock Geisel list, but here are books we'll be thinking about this fall:
