Today was our book tasting day! Students were given a reservation at a specific table to sample some books. Students looked at the cover and backs of books and formed an opinion. They cracked open the books and read the first few pages and wrote what they thought about the book as they nibbled on treats. Students then gave the book a rating. They did this five different times with five different books, with a purpose of finding some new books or a new series that they would like to read. I was so glad that even my reluctant readers found a couple books that they want to read. Students filled out a ballot of their top three books. Shortly, I will use this information they provided to place them into book clubs, where we will practice looking for those signposts that we have been learning about. |
