Teaching Ideas




Display/Activity
Using the light bulb template found here print off and make available for students to write brief comments about a book which has 'lit up their world'. Take some time beforehand to brainstorm what this means. Each student who recommends a book can have their photo taken to accompany their 'light bulb'. Display on a wall in the library and students can speak about each to the class.
----------------------------------------------------
Activity with School Staff
Different students can interview staff to find out a book title from their childhood which 'lit up their world'. Students can create an ebook using power point slides and movie maker/smore brochure/flipsnack or a filmed interview which can then be shared.
----------------------------------------------------
Voting Activity
Buy packets of small coloured sticks to use as voting tokens and small foil take away containers (one for each book) from your local '$2 Shop'. Print off a small coloured book cover image and stick to each container. Make a slit in each lid for students to cast their 'vote' and fasten each lid to its container. 
Students can vote for the book in each category they believe should receive the 'Book of the Year' award after reading all the books in each category.
Tally the votes and have your own awards announcement.
----------------------------------------------------
Oliver Book Reviews
For those schools new to the Oliver LMS, encourage students to write reviews of the shortlisted titles for publishing on your school's Oliver home page.
