A Little Speed Dating in the Library

Mr. Thomas's English classes started off the week with a Book Speed Dating session.  Before we started Mr. Thomas went over his expectations for the activity with each class and what book speed dating is and Mrs. Absi went over genres and how to look on the book jacket and inside the book to find summaries, reviews and other information about the book.

There was an array of books from different genres on each table and the students had six minutes at each table to review the books and take notes.  They then switched to another table for another six minutes and continued moving to each of the nine tables to look over the selections on each one.  When we finished the students were able to choose their perfect date book to check out.
