Why Children Don't Read- a great youtube video!
Why Children Don't Read = = =[|Evernote - YA Book Lists]= This resource contains many places I go to find great young adult books to read. I would like you to read a book a week for a total of 12 books. Each book must be young adult, in a few different genres, and **published within the last 5 years**. For example, week 1 Historical Fiction, week 2 poetry (you don't have to read every poem!!!), week 3 nonfiction (if you choose a book that has teen triumphs, you don't have to read every essay, but sometimes I end up reading most of them), etc.--you get what I mean. I just don't want you to read romances or fantasy every week! As a librarian or teacher, you need to read from all the genres in order to book talk what is in your collection to the many different kinds of teen readers. =[|LiveBinders]= This resource is an electronic portfolio of types of digital book trailers and book talk ideas for you to use and access in this course. I have provided examples, you will need to learn how to use them. They are all free resources. For each of your book trailers, I would like you to use a different digital resource each time. If you want to use Animoto, I will provide you with a code that will allow you to create a video that is longer than 30 seconds, just let me know.
