Lincoln: A Modern Book Talk

In the past and even still today, school librarians would go from class to class giving "book talks". The "book talks" were aimed at getting students to read a certain book or set of books. I have found it difficult to leave my post much to do this. I think teachers find it difficult to fit in a book talk and interrupt their lessons for this to happen also. So, here is my alternative. Click on the arrow below the video box and enjoy! If you want a bigger version of this to show in class, please let me know.

This is a good idea, but it would be much more powerful if you actually got to do this in a classroom. It is a shame that you can't find a teacher willing to allocate some time for you to emphasize reading like this. If you were in my building, I would love for you to come in and record a book talk, maybe even a round table discussion.
