[ISLMA-Share] Class Book Recommendations

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

You could also try bookopolis…I’ve used it with 2nd graders to write book reviews and to recommend books to each other.

My first thought is to use Goodreads.  He can create a class group and then add bookshelves within the group (with tags for genre).  He can make the group private or only open to users with a certain email extension.  Students could join Goodreads using their school email and then request to join the group.  Then they post reviews and recommend books to one another.

 

Students in our reading classes use Goodreads and it seems to work well.

Good morning and happy Friday, great minds of ISLMA!

 

I just had a teacher come up and ask about student book recommendations and figuring out a way for his kids (lower-level readers in a high school) to search books more easily within their classroom library.  He's open to all sorts of ideas, but he would like to give his student the opportunity to search through his collection using things like genre tags, but also to be able to submit a review of a book they read, providing them with an opportunity to practice reflective writing.

 

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good, and easy, way for this teacher and his classes to do this.  We are open to all suggestions!

 

Thanks so much!
