Texas Bluebonnet Books

This next week I'm going to try out a new way to introduce this year's list... judging the book by its cover.  This will be how I introduce the books to the 4th grade students who are already familiar with the program, but perhaps not this year's list.

Instead of me going blah, blah, blah... and some listening and some not, about each book, they will get to spend quality time browsing book covers, book trailers and making up their own minds about which books they hope to read this year.

Can't wait to see how it turns out... cross your fingers technology will be working!

Get the handout here: Can we judge a book by its cover?  It's a freebie!

Update - loved this way to introduce the Texas Bluebonnets!  Here you can see my students digging in and really looking at the book trailers.  First we looked at the book covers and then I encouraged them to first view book trailers of the book covers that didn't appeal to them.  Many actually changed their minds after viewing the book trailers.  Can't wait to see if they keep up with this tool to help them with voting later on in January.
