Over the past couple of weeks, our fifth grade students created Book Hooks in the library. What is a Book Hook? It is a very short, usually one sentence or phrase, advertisement or "hook" for a book. Each student chose a book that they read recently that they liked. Then, they had to think of a short hook to entice other students to want to read the book. The hook could be a question or it could be something interesting/exciting about the book. The challenge for some students is to keep it short and simple. The students used this document to help organize their thoughts and complete the project:
Book Hook Instructions
The students used our iPads and the Keynote app to create their Book Hook slide. The slide has a picture of the book, the "Hook", the call number (so other students can find the book easily in the library) and the student's name (optional). Once they finished creating the slide, they then took a screenshot of it. The Book Hooks are displayed on a screen mounted in our library. Here are a few examples:
This is an easy, fun way to have the students use technology to promote books!
