Fourth graders finished up booktalks before the winter break. The purpose was to get classmates interested in reading their book. The main criteria was to creatively get the audience's attention, give the basic facts i.e. title, author, genre, character, setting, and plot, and make eye contact with the audience. Students did an excellent job of talking-up their books with a great variety of fiction, nonfiction, picture books, graphic novels, and chapter books from all genres. We even had a pair of students memorize and sing the famous "Harry Potter in 99 seconds" as part of their talk. See below for the video by the original creators, Paint.
