It's April and during a typical school year, this is the toughest time to keep students motivated to finish out the year on a strong note. Now add to that the fact that this year was one full of uncertainty, trauma, different modes of instruction, and it is understandable that our students are having difficulty with showing effort during these last few months of school. Using books can help students see others like them face difficult times and be resilient because of those circumstances.
