Read Around the World!

Read Around the World - An ACS Summer Challenge!
Where would you like to spend your summer? The Learning Commons invites all ACS students to participate in this summer’s Read Around the World Challenge!  The challenge is to visit as many different parts of the world as you can through books.  
To participate in the challenge all you need to do is find a comfortable spot and start reading.  After you’ve finished the title, take a photo of the book jacket, of you and the book or simply record it on a piece of paper.
Reading can start the minute school breaks for vacation and will hopefully continue until the day you return to school in August!  If you are looking for titles, here are some sites to check out; List One, List Two, List Three.  Don’t forget to visit your local bookstore, library or virtual shopping destination.
Once you have returned to school, please bring your list of books to the LC so we can invite you to celebrate with us at an event during the first month back.
Books qualify for this event if they meet any of the following criteria:
  • The setting differs from your home country
  • The characters are from a different country than your home country
  • Non-fiction travel guides or information texts about a country other than your home country
  • Biographies highlighting people from different countries
Happy Reading!
The Learning Commons Team
