Mrs.
Tennis’ second grade class (@learninginTX) and I are teaming up to host a March Book Mania tournament. We
invite you to join in the mania!
How
does it work?
Just
like the basketball March Madness tournament, the Book Mania will have rounds
of voting, winners announced until there is a final champion.
There are 16 preselected picture books for the tournament. Click {here} for a list of the books.
•From
now, until March 6th, read and rate the books in the line up. This can be done as a class or individually.
•As
students read the books, they rate them based on the character(s), the setting
and the problem/solution. Then, they calculate a total for each book.
•Using
the documents provided, students select their round 1 picks.
•Students/classes
vote online. (Link is coming soon.)
•Students
record winners
and continue the selection process.
•Each
winning round will be announced via Twitter and blog postings.

Stephanie's class has set up a Padlet for sharing ideas and thoughts about the books.

Thank you for inviting others to join in this project! I love that the books you chose were all accessible for younger classes, but also have some deep themes for older kids to discuss. I'm going to see if I can get others at my school to join in. Fabulous idea!
