Mississippi Writing/Thinking Institute (MWTI) will conduct a five-day Reading Camp for Natchez-Adams School District students and teachers in the following grade bands: K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. The Camp will promote reading with the selection of high-interest reading materials that are relevant to the students' everyday lives. All reading material will center around the theme of "Beating the Odds" even though the Camp experiences will be aligned to the Common Core State Standards of reading texts closely, analyzing the content, and speaking and listening during intellectual discussions, the goal will be for students to have a highly engaging, enjoyable experience that will promote the life-long goal of reading for pleasure.Students will create a reading journal they can continue to use after they leave the Camp.<br />

So for his report, Joe decides to go back to meet one of the greatest baseball players ever, Jackie Robinson, to find out what it was like to be the man who broke baseball's color barrier. Joe plans on writing a prize-winning report.

One Book, One Community, Natchez, Mississippi<br />
<br />
The goal of One Book, One Community is to promote literacy while fostering a sense of community by bringing people together through literature. It encourages everyone to read and creates opportunities for people to talk about a variety of topics by spotlighting a remarkable book through exciting activities.<br />
<br />
Inspired by the success of similar initiatives in larger metropolitian areas like Chicago, Seattle, and Ohio. This concept is also gaining momentum in smaller communities in Mississippi like Tupelo and Starkville. One Book, One Community is the first initative of this kind in Natchez, MS.<br />
<br />
From August to January, various partners of One Book, One Community will hosts a variety of great events that will aid in bringing the community together by giving life to the book.<br />
<br />
The first book selected is <em>I Beat the Odds: From Homelessness to The Blind Side and Beyond by Michael Oher with Don Yaeger.</em><br />
