    The theme for this book talk is picture books focusing on the topic of bravery. 
    This book talk is intended for any elementary school student or teacher. 
    I selected this topic because these are a few of my favorite books, and I think it's important to teach out students to be brave!  ]]>     2019-07-23 21:05:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071005     Anne Capp annecapp1 https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071218 Women in Science
    Intended audience: ages 8-12
    I wanted to collect a resource of picture books and chapter books for this age group to encourage girls to learn about science and other women who have paved the way in different fields of science/engineer/math=STEM. ]]>     2019-07-23 21:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071218     Book Talks with Captain Couch Potato AKA: Robert Voss revoss https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071418 Pirate Books

    I picked the topic of pirates because of the interest in the students.]]>     2019-07-23 21:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071418     Booktalk on historical fiction action/adventure series for 3rd grade reluctant readers by Tiffany Fletcher. tdfletch https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071800 My reason for choosing this topic is because my son is a 3rd grade reluctant reader with dyslexia and these books have gotten him excited about reading.]]> 2019-07-23 21:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071800 Graphic Novel Book Club!! (a program by Rachel Smith) resmi23 https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071932 The Graphic Novel Book club is a program that is intended for reluctant readers to fall in love with reading. Graphic novels are a great way to make reading more exciting for kids who are reluctant. 

    The program is intended for kids aged 9-12, but can be easily reworked to fit any age range. 

    At the public library, we see all kinds of young readers: kids who read anything they can get their hands on, to kids who refuse to read and see it as a chore. For this age range especially, high school is looming right around the corner where they will be expected to read more complex material. Graphic novels will hopefully encourage them to read more traditional books. ]]>     2019-07-23 21:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071932     Book talk about strong female characters in children's books klsands https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372071994 Katie Winfrey

    K-5 Public Elementary School Students at my school
    I chose this topic because last year I started a Makerspace and mostly just let students free explore and get to know the materials and what they can do. This year I wanted to give them a way to tie it into reading and the books in the library. This is a book talk and promotional video to help them get excited!]]>     2019-07-23 21:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372072631     Grief and Loss in Children eamical https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372072913
  • Beth Mical
  • Grief and Loss in children
  • Parents, educators and children 12 and under
  • When a child experiences grief and loss, it impacts everyone in that child's life...family, caregivers, and educators. This resource brings information together in one place that the parent, the teacher and the student can access. This topic is near and dear to my heart as I have had to work with many children through the years suffering the loss of a loved one, even the loss of our own students.

    These books focus on STEM concepts and ideas. These books are intended for my lower school students which include kindergarten through 4th grade. I chose this topic because as the new librarian at my school I am in charge of makerspace and a coding elective. I needed a way to get kids making the connection from the library to stem. These books will be great introductions and connections for my littles.]]>     2019-07-23 21:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073039     Booktalks with Mrs. Kaylor jnkaylor https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073237 Jana Kaylor 
    Topic Focus is Biographies 
    3rd Grade Students- Audience 
    To show biographies in different formats. ]]>     2019-07-23 21:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073237     Elementary Battle of the Books with Mrs. Chrisco wngrogan https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073321 I focused on three of the fifteen Elementary Battle of the Book titles on the 2019-2020 list. My intended audience is current 4th and 5th grade students. I chose this topic because this year I will be forming a brand new EBOB team and thought it would be great to have materials to get students interested. Many kids are intimidated by the requirements to make the team. I am hopeful some students will hear these talks, or see my book trailer and decide to give at least one book a try.
    *I'll be posting my link when it finishes uploading (we are currently at 50 minutes and it's about 40% complete) - also you can definitely tell I am still in the learning stages of production. With practice I hope to improve greatly! I can ask the students to be on the look out for bloopers :)]]>     2019-07-23 21:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073321     Overcoming Adversity https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073356 Candice Godfrey
    Theme:  Overcoming Adversity
    Intended Audience: Elementary Age children in grades 3-5
    Purpose: I chose this topic because I feel like all students struggle. Some struggle with physical disabilities. Others struggle may struggle with more private, unseen issues. I chose this because I know this coming school year, I have a deaf student. I also have a student with behavioral issues. I chose these books because they are books I can use this year with my students and hopefully bring about some unity.
    **Sidenote - I have room for a lot of improvement. I did not have the best lighting. I found that I could not use my public library this week because of a program that is going on. My school library is still locked up tight for the summer. My only option was the room in my house that lighting is not good in. In the future, I need to find alternate locations if I cannot get in to the library. Also, videoing myself makes me very nervous.]]>     2019-07-23 21:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073356     Meghan Brawley meghan_m_brawley https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073370 The theme of my book talk is books to make you laugh, for 8-12. I chose it because genre books don't usually get included in the humorous book category, and while every kid likes to laugh, not every kid wants to read Diary of a Wimpy Kid (or has already read it).
    My intended audience and use is students in a middle school library.]]>     2019-07-23 21:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073370     Book Talk - Meghan Sanford https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073588 Topic focus - children's books featuring characters with disabilities
    Audience - children with disabilities, their non-disabled peers, and secondarily their parents, teachers, and librarians
    Purpose - including windows and mirrors featuring the diverse student population with learning differences and physical/academic disabilities, based on my background as an EC teacher


    ]]>     2019-07-23 21:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073588     Middle School Multicultural Graphic Novels https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073598 Beimnet Baissa

    There are four book talks on middle school multicultural graphic novels.

    The intended audience is middle school students. 

    I chose this topic because I don't think of multicultural graphic novels usually, so I wanted to see what was out there.  ]]>     2019-07-23 21:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073598     Cearra Harris Booktalk cnharri3 https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073708 Theme: Books that promote self-confidence to young readers of color.

    Audience: School age children

    Purpose: As a teen services specialist I am asked constantly for books with characters that look like them. I wanted to have a resource on hand with recommendations for the younger readers I serve.

    ]]>     2019-07-23 21:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372073708     Booktalking through North Carolina... pcjonesw https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372074616 4th grade Social Studies
    The main audience is 4th graders, with younger book buddies as well. The 4th graders will have an opportunity to take the lead and help the younger students (Kinders - second graders) about North Carolina. The lower leveled books will allow the younger students the opportunity to "teach" the 4th graders.
    I choose this because this is something I will try to grow and use as part of my media lessons.]]>     2019-07-23 21:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372074616     Emma https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372075698 I did Christmas picture books for ages 3-8-ish because I LOVE Christmas.  Like, you don't even KNOW.

    Theme: Makerspace Mindset
    Audience: k-5
    I chose this topic because I want to see my students develop perseverance. I would like to start a makerspace, so I thought these 3 books would be helpful to help develop a maker mindset.

    Theme/Topic: Fairy Tales
    Intended Audience: Elementary School Age

    I chose this topic because I used to be a reluctant reading at this age, but one thing that always got me were the golden books fairy tales and pop up books. Beyond my own personal love of fairy tales, I think that because they have been passed down and adapted for many years, that it can be a way to reach children who aren't fond of reading. Anyone can make their own version of a fairy tale, so I wanted to give kids that chance to interact with these stories.]]>     2019-07-23 21:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372076661     Books & Resources Focusing on Children's Different Abilities m_mcderm https://padlet.com/tsgruer/FinalProject/wish/372087485 ·  Mary McDermott
    ·  Books and Resources Focusing on Children’s Different Abilities
    ·  Ages 5-9 (Grads K-3)
    ·  I chose this topic because I am a Special Education teacher. I felt it would be wonderful to bring awareness to different abilities through various books and resources.

    Upper Elementary (Grades 3-5)
    Chose this so I could promote our Oregon Battle of the Books list for this year and because historical fiction is a topic that 4th and 5th graders have to read during the year and do a project on
