All-New Reading Bowl

THE 1st ANNUAL

ANCS READING BOWL

&

PANCAKE BRUNCH!!!!

Saturday, January 20

Middle Campus Library

9-11am

After years of deliberation, I want to have our students and families involved in an event that is more interesting, creative and fun than what we have done in the past. Our reading selections will continue with books from the Georgia Children’s Book Award Nominees - and for all 25 listed, no matter the grade level. I am super excited about our new “bowl” and hope STUDENTS AND FAMILIES will join us in this day to celebrate the joy of reading. And pancakes.

• For Students AND Families
• Jeopardy-Style Trivia
• Prizes
• Book Discussion
• PANCAKES!!!

Meetings will be held by grade level during Fridays at lunch. Participants may eat lunch in the media center to read and brainstorm or work on a book talk, book trailer or jackdaw.

Students will create at least one of the following, but may do as many as wanted for multiple titles. These will be shared as a displays/presentations on that Saturday:

• Book Talk: A good book talk usually lasts 1-2 minutes. Your job is to SELL the viewer on why they should read the book - like an advertisement. No spoilers. Search online for examples.
• Book Trailer: 1-2 minute video creation about a book. Similar to movie trailers. No spoilers. Search online for examples.
• Jackdaw (Ms. L’s favorite): A jackdaw (also a bird in the crow family that likes shiny objects) is a collection of artifacts and items that represent what happened in a book - household objects, maps, photos, recipes, timelines - even music playing that might evoke that period. For our jackdaws you will need to provide 5-10 items and label them with how they relate to the story. There are not many good examples of this project online. Ms. Linahan will bring an example to a Friday lunch.

**Interested students and families should sign up with Ms. Linahan in the library or at tlinahan@atlncs.org
