Steps
- Conversation about the school library: what you can do there and how to choose a book.
- Students fold a corner bookmark from a paper square (e.g. in the shape of a monster or animal).
- They decorate it with paper eyes and teeth.
- On a slip of paper, they write the title of a book they recommend and a brief reason.
- Bookmarks and recommendations go to the library for other readers.
Tip: Pin the recommendations on a library board: students recommend.
