<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">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. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">

<p class="MsoNormal">I know this has been discussed before but I’m not seeing it easily in the archives. Will you share how you do book tastings, logistically? I’m looking to switch mine up a little and would love your procedures. Like, do they rotate tables?
Are they given a book or pick from a stack? Do you have them write anything down about the “taste?” I guess I just want all the details!<u></u><u></u></p>
