WOW Reads: S2, E1 - TRAP Reads The Broke Hearts by Matt Mendez

WOW Reads

Join the Worlds of Words Center Teen Reading Ambassadors (TRAP) as we discuss The Broke Hearts by Matt Mendez.
This episode gets personal as we elaborate on Matt's suggestion that we never stop becoming something.
It was reported in this episode that the book launch had just under 30 attendees, but it was actually over 30 attendees. This matters because the Middle School Reading Ambassadors challenged the teens to see who could get more people to their author event. Did they? Didn't they? That part hasn't been reported.
This podcast was recorded in the Digital Innovation and Learning Lab (DIALL) in the UArizona College of Education with assistance from the UA COE Tech Team.

Audio Engineer: Liam Arias, Student Employee and Radio, TV, Film Major
