Today in class we had a book tasting. Ms. Bilton and I placed different Young Adult novels on the tables and the students read the first couple pages of a book of their choosing for 5 minutes and then evaluated that book on paper. During the book tasting, I monitored the class as they read quietly at their table groups. I really enjoyed all of the thought and detail that was put into this lesson. The hardest part about this lesson was keeping the students focused on reading. Our block period has many students with reading disabilities, so many of the students were not interested in actually finding a book they liked, they were just interested in completing the assignment. This activity allowed me to observe and get to know the class and how they feel about reading.
