Virtual Book Tastings

How are you designing and implementing book tastings this year?

To keep our students and staff safe this year, I took it all online with virtual book tastings!

How does it work? I choose 4 books per genre. Then I link each book to our Sora ebooks. Students read the description, read the first few pages using the “read sample” feature. At the end of the lesson, students respond using Flipgrid with their thoughts on the books and genres so I can do a follow up readers advisory.

It’s been so wonderful hosting these book tastings because it almost feels like normal - connecting with students and sharing awesome books.

I put the link to my template below for FREE. Go check it out! If you do use the template and share, please make sure to include my attribution. Thank you!
