Update on Booktalks and Advertisements!

Thanks for writing! There are a ton of great ideas! I LOVE what you are creating and can't wait to see how these come out. Some kids have asked me to work in pairs. That is fine for this first one. That way you can plan together what your script will be to videotape or record with the ipod and italk. We will start recording next week for kids who will be ready. Please write me a comment if you are interested in starting next week: Oct. 8-12. Let me know just your first name and teacher name. This way I can let you know the day and what you need. Also let me know if you need me to search for any props and I will try my best to help you out. This will be a huge success! See you soon!

Booktalks and Advertisements

What would you like to talk about?
Hey Kids! We will be starting out booktalks and advertisements for library soon. Please write to me and let me know what books you have read this year so far that you would like to do a booktalk or advertisement on. I will give you a booktalk sheet or advertisement sheet to prepare next week so we can start filming and recording . Each kid will have a certain day they can complete their ad or booktalk. You can create a poster, sign, bring in a prop to advertise and talk about your book on the day of your recording. I can't wait to see what books we will be talking about this year. Please leave me a comment today if you think you can start your project in October or if you would like to wait till November. Thanks! Happy Blogging! Don't forget to check back as I write back as well. Check this site out for books that may interest you. www.bookhive.org
