Description

Booktalking Nonfiction: 200 Sure-Fire Winners for Middle and High School Readers will provide an introduction to selecting and writing booktalks for nonfiction books with a focus on unique informational texts and biographies and autobiographies. A booktalk is a summary of a book presented in a way that would interest someone in reading the book described. Why non-fiction? Because the Common Core Standards Initiative, which most states have adopted, requires that 70% of the materials students read be from the category of informational texts it is especially important to focus on nonfiction when sharing books with students. Here's everything you need to do just that. Chapters cover selecting, writing, preparing, and presenting booktalks, special tips for high-interest, low-level books, and using non-fiction in the library and the classroom. Two hundred ready-to-present booktalks arranged by genre are also included. Genres include animals, famous people, sports, crime and serial killers, movies and television, religion, war, history, and the supernatural.

Reviews
According to her biography in Booktalking Nonfiction, Bromann-Bender is a librarian at Lincoln-Way West High School in Illinois and has authored several other books on booktalking. From reading this book one can see that she is also a thoughtful, experienced professional. This book contains everything the reader needs in order to begin booktalking nonfiction titles for teens. Nonfiction is the focus on the volume mainly because the Common Core Standards Initiative requires that 70 percent of the materials students read be information texts. Broken into four chapters, the book outlines all the skills and steps necessary to booktalk. The author begins by giving instruction on how to select, write, prepare, and present booktalks. She then goes on to discuss incorporating quick talks into library services. Using nonfiction in the library and classroom is the focus of chapter 3. The final chapter presents booktalks by theme, including animals, crime and serial killers, overcoming the odds, history and war, science and inventions, and sports, just to name a few. The author provides the user with ready-made booktalks; however, the librarian can expand on them by using tips provided at the beginning of the book. This book is recommended for young adult librarians in school and public libraries. * American Reference Books Annual *

Jennifer Bromann-Bender provides another fun, practical guide for engaging readers with this well written title.

Titles and booktalks arranged by appealing and curriculum connecting topics make this especially useful. Many ways of providing booktalks other than formal presentations are helpful with packed school days and busy public school library schedules.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
