Book tasting!
This is an activity that I modified from a Teachers Pay Teachers. We "tasted books!" We took turns sharing books in different genres with each other. I decorated my room like a restaurant and played cafe music.
We had cookies and shared about the books that we were looking out. This happened after a genre lesson so they were familiar about what each genre was about.
Students made lists of books that they were interested in reading so that when they finish a book they can choose another one from their list on their bookmark without having to remember the titles. From this students have also discovered authors that they like too.
I usually do two or three a year, each time focusing on different genres: Realistic fiction, mystery, poems, science fiction, non- fiction, fantasy, etc.
