[ISLMA-Share] Book Tasting/Book Speed Dating

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Our sixth graders did a book tasting before they decided what book they
wanted in read in lit. circles.  Here's the PDF they used for deciding.  We
also set up the library like a restaurant.  Their "napkin" had a little
about the book.  Their plate was serving the book.  It was a lot of fun.
