This is the first official post of Confessions of a Book Junkie! Yay! At the end of last year I decided that I wanted to do a lot of new things this year but I knew if I really wanted to accomplish them, I'd have to create a running To Do List to keep myself focused. Even though I've been able to cross a few things off that TDL (including creating this blog), it's been growing since that time. Which is a good thing I think. The overall goal of my TDL is to get my 9th graders excited about reading. These are a few of the things I've gotten done.
- Update my beginning of school year student survey
- Update my beginning of the school year teacher survey
- Create my Wildcat Review Blog
- Create my Confessions of a Book Junkie Blog
- Create my Wildcat Virtual Book Club Blog
- Library Orientation QR Code Scavenger Hunt
- Bookmarks with QR Code link to Review Blog
- QR Codes Codes for Book Trailers
What am I working on today? A reading log! I've done a reading log before, but all I did was "list" the books I read and post them on my door. What I'm going to do this year is actually post "pictures" of the covers of the book. Of course I got this idea from Pinterest. I think the visual will be more effective and hopefully inspire my students to read!
Unfortunately I'm waiting for more laminating film so I can laminate my book covers before I put them up. But, I've already printed and cut them out so I'm ready as soon as the film gets in!
I'll be sure to post a pic when I get it all up!
UPDATE!!! I finally got my "picture book log" up. What do you think? I'll add more books as I read.
On to my next project....a "Read Box!"
Have a great year!
The Book Junkie
