Reflection on getting boys to read!

I am in college to receive my masters in Education and one of my classes asked us to do this web-quest about getting boys in general to read more. This was an interesting topic. When I become a teacher, I think I’d like to try the Hatchet series by Gary Paulson. I think it would work with boys and girls as well. It is a problem solving story about a young boy whose plane crash lands in the Canadian wilderness and it describes how he survives and figures out each step along the way.
Growing up, I was an avid camper and really enjoyed these books even thought I originally bought them for my son.
It’s the type of book where you put yourself in his shoes and ask yourself the question, “Now What??”
