The Mobile Camel Library (G8A)

Week 14 in my G8A class we are finishing up our Reading Challenge Unit 10 Reading on The Mobile Camel Library in Kenya. I thought it was pretty interesting and admired the librarian who came up with the idea of bringing books to villages.

We are ending the week with a quiz on this chapter's vocabulary, some comprehension questions and watching a video. If we have extra time I will show them about a mobile library in Honduras and Ethiopia.
