March Madness

I have been a teacher for over two decades, but I am new to being a teacher-librarian.  I would love to see what others can share about their ideas to get students interested in reading.  This year I used Lucid to make a book bracket.  Here it is.  I like how it turned out!

 

This looks amazing - thank you so much for sharing! Please update us on which book is the winner at the end of the month! 🏆


I agree Morgan!  I can’t wait to find out which is the winning book!  I have done something similar with Brackets in my classroom using the voting feature.  I have used it with students for their favorite book and lots of other topics. Here is a video and a template you can try.

 

 


My school gets students excited about reading by having students dress up as their favorite book character every year during spirit week.  I take their picture and add it to a Lucidspark board.  Each student’s picture is in a separate break out board.  The students go into their assigned breakout board and create a graphic for why students should read their favorite book!  There is a comments section in each breakout board, so once everyone is done the students can look through everyone else's breakout board and add comments.


I love your ideas!  Thank you for sharing :) Every year I host a Reading Genre Olympics and I use a Lucidspark table to organize who is participating.  Students add the books to their section of the table and once they’ve read a book from every genre they get a medal in the document and in real life :) Here is an in-progress example.  I took out the kids names to be safe

 


I want to do this for my own reading! 😂 So exciting for students to see their reading accomplishments like this.
