Earlier this week I told my class about the Top 100 Children’s Book Poll and how my votes counted. I then wrote a post (over at my class blog) with my top ten list (and how I fared in the final voting) and an invitation for them to create their own lists. It is a fun assignments for avid readers. Here are some of their results:
- RG’s top choice is The Hobbit “….because it’s amazing, has a story behind it and great characters.” Go here to see the rest of his list.
- SB chose Hugo Cabret for number one. The rest of his list is here.
- GN thinks her #1 Charlotte’s Web is, “…a classic. It’s touching, funny, and AMAZING!!!” See her list here.
- FB’s top choice is His Dark Materials (hmmm…that is three books, but I can’t blame her). Her list is here.
That is a great technique. I love how book can just suck a child into a new world. My niece just finished Sewing A Friendship and she is still talking about the girls in the book like they are real. Any book that can get that kind of response is great in my book.
