Student Book Recommendations

Well, I'm finally doing it! The 3rd graders will get a chance to show their creative stuff by creating their book recommendations with video or audio.  For the camera shy, we'll use the Vocaroo website to record the book recommendations, generate a QR code and share. For the outgoing students, there will be some picture and video options available.

Students identified a book they wished to recommend, wrote their ideas on a graphic organizer, then had it peer reviewed by their computer partner.  Armed with their partners feedback, students will make the necessary edits and practice.  The final step will to create the book recommendations and share them.  

I hope to put some of the more polished ones on the library website as examples of the creativity in 3rd grade.  Throughout the year, students will have the opportunity to work on additional reviews and improve on their writing and public speaking skills.

Fingers crossed that the wifi works! I look forward to the wild and craziness of 3rd graders in front of the camera lens!
