[aisle] [External] Book tastings for High School

[Lichtenheld, Allison]

I do a couple of different formats, depending on what the classroom teacher
thinks is the best fit. Typically I will make a menu that includes space
for students to write reactions and a quick review after interacting with
the book, as well as give it a star rating. If scheduling and space allow,
I prefer to have students rotate tables so they don't get too antsy, but
I've also had them pass the books if we are short on space and need the
humans to stay put. I try to group the books by genre or format (graphic,
verse, etc.) if possible, play themed music softly in the background, and
allow for some casual discussion throughout the process just like hanging
out with friends at dinner.
