Book Talks are Wonderful

As a future educator, I plan on doing a lot of book talks in my future classroom. Book talks are easy and fun summaries of specific books related to lessons. They usually last between 1 and 2 minutes and talk about things such as what the book is about, what grade level it is meant for, and how you would use the book in a lesson. They can be visual or audio only, but still easy to follow along with. 

For one of the lessons I created, I based the lesson on the students creating a book talk. The students were asked to choose a book based on one of the forms of precipitation. They then had to read it and summarize the book for the whole class to understand what the book was about. The students could create the book talk using various types of digital tools such as Audio Boom or YouTube. This allowed them to get creative in explaining their thoughts on the book. The students were able to share what they have learned with the class which made it a learning experience for all.
