Going...Going...Gone for Reading!

Lough, Posy Baker; Steele, Patta

Teacher, v96 n5 p60-62 Jan 1979

Recreational reading was encouraged in a sixth-grade class through a "Famous People Auction Project." For each book read and reported on during the year, students accumulated play money, with which they could bid at an auction for mementoes the teacher had solicited from celebrities. (SJL)
