What educators are saying

I have my older students use this resource to write reviews for the younger students. Kid to kid recommendations are sometimes better than my recommendations.
This framework really helps students prepare to give book talks using details and explanations. Great activity!

Description

Book talks are a great way to engage students in authentic conversations about books. With this resource, students will read a choice book, use the organizer to prepare their book talk and record information using the group record sheet organizer.

A tested classroom resource that will complement any reading program where students get to choose the books they read!

Included in this resource:

  • Book Talk Expectations
    The format and expectations for students to present their book to a small group or whole class are presented in an easy to follow PowerPoint presentation.

  • Student Planning Sheet
    A PDF handout that follows the format of the Book Talk Expectations PowerPoint is included for students to plan out the details of their individual book talk. This helps students think through the details of the presentation and organize each portion of their book talk.

  • Group Record Sheet
    To promote active listening while students are presenting, there is a record sheet for students to fill out during student book talks. This works best for small group book talks, but could easily be adapted to a whole class setting if you prefer oral presentations.

  • End of the Unit Reflection

Provide students with an opportunity to reflect on their learning

throughout the unit.
