Reading makes you feel good

I have to read three young adult novels by the end of the week so I can run a workshop for teacher candidates. This is my first opportunity to do something like this for my job. I'm pretty excited. I may prepare way too much but I'd rather that than come up short. My plan going into it is to overload them with information/books/ideas and hope something sticks. This might not be the most effective solution but at least I can get feed back to figure out how to improve. Group work is key.
