1 BOOK TALKS A Book Talk is.. An opportunity to establish your identity as a reader and as a reading role model Like a movie trailer in the sense that it tells about the most exciting parts of a book, but leaves you wanting more Always about a book that you ve enjoyed reading (one of the goals is to entice other readers to think about reading the book or a genre similar to it) An activity that takes some thought and planning Something that your students can do once they ve gotten into reading their own books A powerful tool for generating enthusiasm about SSR A Book Talk is not.. A complete summary of the book A book review Here s what you might include in your Book Talk: Introduction of the book: title, author, genre (non-fiction, novel, poetry, etc.) Brief background of the author (from the book jacket or, if you re familiar with their work, you could go into more detail) A brief explanation of why you were drawn into reading this book What was it that made you want to keep going, when you could have just as well put it aside, and chosen another book? A short reading of an exciting part (previewed by an explanation of what was happening up to that point) A connection you have to the book (maybe the setting of the book is in New England, and reading that book brings back memories of a great vacation, or you ve felt the way the character felt during a particular scene, etc.) Why you like the book Is it challenging for you? (It s good for kids to hear that adults read books that are difficult for them, too.) Are you learning about a part of history that you never knew about before? Is it suspenseful, keeping you wondering about what s going to happen next? At the end of your Book Talk, you might want to pass the book around so your students can see it, and get a glimpse of it for themselves. * Book Talks do not (and probably should not) have to be scholarly. You could bring a book that you read when you were a teenager, or even during your childhood. We want to show students that reading is fun. Kids love getting a glimpse into your life to see what makes you tick (kind of like when you were a kid and you spotted your teacher in the grocery store, and you were shocked and amazed and thought She eats food, too? I can t believe it! ) Kids need to see that we value reading. Remember that, for some of our students, we are their only role models Joyce Z. Vanderscheuren 3
2 Who Lives In Your House? Student Worksheet (Reading is Rewarding) from Reading Reasons, by Kelly Gallagher, pgs. 48 & 49 Person Why is this person famous? What do these people have in common? 2005 Joyce Z. Vanderscheuren 4
3 Who Lives in Your House? Teacher Instructions (Reading is Rewarding) From Reading Reasons, pgs. 48 &49 1. Share a list of authors who live in your house, but don t tell them who these people are. (Write the authors on the left hand side of the student worksheet before you make copies or on an overhead if you prefer). Students should try to identify as many people as they can, or guess why they are famous. It s fun to mix a blend of classical writers with contemporary ones. 2. Share answers as a class. Have each group fill in blanks by having a discussion session. 3. Once all of the people are identified, ask the students what these people have in common. Ask students to discuss in small groups and share their responses with the rest of the class. 4. Once the student responses have been heard, share your answer: All of these people live in my house. You could read a preselected passage from some of the books, to share why you enjoy their writing and choose to have their work as a permanent part of your library connection. A bit of advice: Don t hesitate to do this activity if you re worried that you re not reading the right kinds of things. Maybe you don t read books but subscribe to all kinds of magazines and journals, or maybe you do most of your reading on the web. This kind of reading is just as valid as literature. The point of this activity is to get conversations going around reading, and to establish yourself as the reading role model that you must become in order to make SSR at Patrick Henry a success. 5. Have students brainstorm (and write down) a list of ten famous people they would like to have live at their house. Chances are there is a great book about each person they list. This may give them some ideas about what kind of book they d like to select when it s time for them to go to the Book Fair Joyce Z. Vanderscheuren 5

5 Word Attack! Teacher Instructions (Reading Builds a Mature Vocabulary) from Reading Reasons, pgs.58 &59 1. Put the word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis on the board or overhead. Tell the students to break this word down into at least a partial meaning. (This is a real word, that can be found in the dictionary). 2. If students struggle with the word, write this sentence on the board to give them some context: Because of his closeness to Mount St. Helens, he contracted pneumonoultramicro-scopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. 3. Ask students which parts of the word they were able to break down and generate meaning from. String these on the board or overhead until the students figure out the definition of the word or until they have hit a dead end. 4. If necessary, reveal the definitions of the word parts: pneumono: related to the lungs ultra: super micro: small scopic: related to a viewing instrument silico: the mineral silicon volcano: eruption in the earth from which molten rock, steam and dust arise coni: dust osis: referring to a diseased condition 5. If necessary, reveal the definition of the entire word: (A disease of the lungs caused by ongoing inhalation of very fine silicon dust particles.) 6. Ask students the following:! Who would be more capable of breaking down a word like this---someone who reads rarely, or someone who reads frequently?! Why? Explain. Suggested Follow-Up Activity: The List (from Deeper Reading, by Kelly Gallagher) *This list contains the 30 most common prefixes, the 15 most common roots, and the 10 most common suffixes used in the English language. Gallagher requires his students to memorize this list, five words at a time, until he s certain that all of his students know their meanings. It is given as a homework assignment, with classroom time being used only to quiz students on their meanings. Gallagher feels it makes a significant difference in his students ability to understand what they read, and it s a list that s been adopted by the entire staff at his school Joyce Z. Vanderscheuren 7
6 How to Become a Good Writer Student Worksheet (Reading Makes You a Better Writer) adapted from Reading Reasons, pgs. 62 &63 If you wanted to be a great artist, you would familiarize yourself with as many artists and their styles as possible. You might visit museums, study the history of art, as well as the various styles and techniques used by the most famous artists. To advance your own art abilities, you would immerse yourself in great art. Of course simply knowing about art will not make you a great artist. You would have to spend hours and hours practicing the art forms of drawing, painting, or sculpting. This same concept of immersion and practice applies to anything you want to be good at. 1) Look at this sample list for How to Become a Good Musician! Read a lot of music.! Understand the elements of good music.! Play with the elements of good music.! Listen to all kinds of music.! Imitate other musicians.! Experiment with different combinations of music.! Learn from your failures.! Practice, practice, practice. 2) Make your own list, with something you already know how to do, or feel that you are skilled at. What did it take for you to get to the skill level that you are at now? (Ex. How to Be the Best at Video Games, How to Become a Good Basketball Player, How to Become a Good Cook, etc. How to Become a Good 3) Now that you ve had a chance to think about what it took to learn a skill of your own, take a minute to fill in this chart.

Understand the elements of good writing.! Use the elements of good writing when they write.! Sample lots of different writers.! Imitate other writers.! Experiment with different kinds of writing.! Learn from your mistakes.! Practice, practice, practice! (Write, write, write!!!) 4. Have students write two reflection paragraphs about writing.
