Cafe Genre
Fifth grade teacher Jennifer Morris and School Library Media Coordinator Kristina Thoennes planned a book tasting which gave students an opportunity to browse books of various genres. Decorations transformed part of the Media Center into "Cafe Genre," a delightful restaurant with red tablecloths, candles (battery-operated), light snacks, and French cafe music. The SMARTboard became a curtained window through which students could see the Eiffel Tower.
Each table had a selection of books from one fiction genre, varying in reading level. Students used a "Survey the Text" strategy to "taste" a book or two at a table. They recorded their thoughts on a hand out, and had the opportunity to check out one of the books at the end.
