All students read in their books for 10 minutes. I reviewed with 8th graders and explained to 7th graders what a BookShare was and why we do them in Language Arts. I explained the format and expectations for this required public speaking activity. Since so many students struggle with explaining the genre of their books (a requirement for BookShares) I had students watch a dvd on how to identify the different genres. Students shared their insights on the different genres at the end of the dvd.
