HORROR Book Talks and Annotations

The Horror Book Talks session will be held Wednesday, October 30 in Room 112 at General Administration starting at 9:00 AM.

Please bring a copy of your Horror book talk selection with you to the meeting. Everyone will be talking about their title and we will discuss the new and improved Annotation format which will be used during Round 5. It is the PRES technique based on a management tool developed by Peter and Susan Glaser, http://www.theglasers.com/.

This technique was adapted by Georgine Olson (a Readers' Advisory librarian in Alaska) for creating quick book talks. Click on Resources for an explanation of how we are going to adapt this technique for writing our annotations and for a link to the PRES Book Talk template developed by Ms. Olson.

HORROR - Resources

For your perusal pleasure ...

The Horror Genre Resource Guide for 20th Century Ghosts has been posted under the Benchmarks tab and the Horror Book Talk Titles suggestion list is available under the Book Talk Titles tab.

The Horror Book Talks meeting will be held: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 from 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM at General Administration in Room 112.

You may choose to read one of the suggestions from the list OR select a title on your own but it should be a Horror title; keep in mind how your alternate selection would be a good representative of the Horror genre.

Keep watching for another post about the Annotation format we will be using.
