Book Talks

As I have been observing our EC Trainers, I wanted to share an idea that I watched at Columbia Elementary. Andrea, who is a Trainee and a 6th rade teacher, shared with her class some Book Talks that you can find on scholastic.com. After her class saw a couple, she discussed with them the specifics of a book talk and this is how her class is going to do their "book reports". Isn't that a fun idea in creating a book report? Basically, the students will be discussing their books, without giving away the ending. They have to be creative with how they introduce their books, so that the watcher will want to read the book! Doesn't Jordan School District have awesome teachers?
Bravo Andrea!!!!!!!
