Promoting YALSA 2013 Top Ten Nominees

Posted by in Education, Reading Advocacy, YALSA

YALSA has released the 28 titles nominated for their title of 2013 “Top Ten” Teen Reads.  I’m playing with ways to promote them. Of course I’ll pull together a book display at school. But getting ready for TLA this week reminded me of Projeqt, one of the 2012 AASL Best Websites for Teaching and Learning, so I made one to go with these nominations that I’ll use at school.

 

 

I can also use these as I showcase to students what a “book trailer” is–I have a teacher very interested in having her students create book trailers.  Some of these a re directly from the publishers, and then some are fan made.  I tried to select SHORT ones, so I may not have chosen the very best.  After doing this, it has made me want to go ahead and set up (and READ) some of these titles too.
