Welcome to the Media Center at Bunche Middle School!!

Hey Chargers,
Welcome to the Bunche Media Center blog! This blog is designed to keep you posted on the happenings in the media center. I will update this blog weekly. Look for information about new books, bestsellers, technology tips, and your classmates opinions about books in the media center. I take great pride in developing a collection of books that will interest the readers at Bunche Middle School. I want the media center to be inviting and most of all, stimulate a desire inside of everyone that enters to pick up a book and read. I love it when students bring books back to the media center so excited that they can't hardly wait to read the next book. To this end, the media committee and I have spent the last five years carefully building a collection of books that get our collection more aligned with the overall goals. This isn't an easy task, but every year I am more pleased with the collection and more proud of the media center's appearance.  The new titles include award winning titles, graphic novels, classics, mysteries, science fiction, and much more. Please plan a visit to the media center on your own or ask your Language Arts teacher to bring the class.
Speaking of the Language Arts department, all ELA teachers will bring their classes to the media center for orientation. Yes, I will make an earnest effort to personally greet and orientate each student at Bunche before August 31, 2011. Each session will be brief and full of important media information. The schedule will be posted soon. Stay tuned.
This week I will give some ideas on sharing your summer reading. I will begin a new post about my favorite summer book. I encourage you to post your summer read and comment on each other's post. Sound like fun? I hope so. I am sure my avid readers will get a kick out of this. I hope this will inspire others to read more.
Idea #1: Complete a book report to share with others. (see your ELA teacher for a template)
Idea #2: Create a mobile about the characters, setting and main idea of the book.
Idea #3: Post on this blog.(my choice....hint....hint)

I look forward to reading your top pick. I am excited about this school year and I hope you are too!!

See you in the media center,
Mrs. Walker
