Book Show Bags
It’s show time in Queensland, which of course means Show Bags!
So there’s no better time to introduce Book Show Bags. Students read a book of their choice then choose to ‘display’ that book to others by a selection of objects or activities associated with the book, housed in a bag. You could supply students with brown twine topped bags or let them supply their own.
The displayed items could include: a biography of the author, objects from the book, information about the place the book is set, a crossword made from words or characters in the book, newspaper articles about the topic, a book review they have written, a replacement cover they have created, short blurbs about other similar books, a bookmark for the book…the possibilities of items and applications for this activity are only limited by your imagination.
