Resources:

Use the various links/images I have provided below.

Check out these Diverse Books that @BAMEedNetwork have hosted thanks to @rapclassroom & @ksandsoconnor- We are often told teachers simply don’t know which books are out there, with a diverse character range, so the list will help you!

What to do:

With World Book Day approaching, 4/3/21 I thought this might be a good way to help inspire some ‘reluctant’ readers.

We all love films/movies?

And we have all heard many people respond about a film/movie with, ‘You should read the book!’

So… do students know that LOTS of their ‘favourite films/movies’ were actually inspired by books!

Did you!?

Check out this website with a load of examples! And here too!

How about some of your favourite films?

In my classroom I had a display with the title, ‘They were even better as books…’

Lots of super surprised reactions from children finding out that their their/friends/family favourite film was a book first!

Some of my favourites…That (I/some) didn’t know were books…

  • The Color Purple
  • Jurassic Park
  • Lord of the Rings
  • The Hobbit
  • The Silence of the Lambs
  • The Godfather
  • Fight Club
  • Trainspotting
  • IT
  • Forest Gump

More here…

Variations:

Create a QR Code display board with books?

Info. here!

Create a Virtual Library?

I had great fun creating our virtual library! I’ve got 10-12 teachers recording for me so far and we have some of the books on our VleBooks and the rest in the library. Will also find some extracts read by authors + get Sixth Formers to join in (@AlwaysLearnWeb has done this!). pic.twitter.com/KtV5kddnbx

Turn your background to books?

dead simple.
take a photo on your phone, device and save
OR screen grab a library and save to your device.
log into teams
go on the 3 dots for meeting options and choose a background, then use the upload image (on teams it is a blue +)
then select it and preview.
done
🙂
