Book
Talk Day!
So I got in book talks for four classes today.
Everything went well---the kids were attentive, mostly—they are middle
schoolers and had MAP testing today--- and kids came to the library to check
out some of the books from the presentation! I’d say that is pretty good for a
first go round!
There were no technology issues (thank goodness)
and the few video clips I found and presented were effective. The one book I was most worried
about for sixth graders was the most popular---well, I know how to sell books
in the future…making them a bit “forbidden”…will keep that in my back pocket!
Several students had read Belly Up and were excited
to see it.
And Ransom was a pretty big hit!
I was a little
surprised as the cover of this particular book was rather dated…I think they
thought a dead bus driver was a bit thrilling.
Loved presenting to the students and make me
confirm my decision to take this path at rather late stage in my game.
Will be curious to see if some of the books are
missing from the display when I return on Tuesday!
