Now with digital worksheet to support distance learning!

This product features an engaging back to school Book Talk activity that will have your new students thinking, writing, speaking, and moving on the very first day of school. In this activity, they must choose between 6 different quotes about literature and articulate why the quote aligns with their perspective on reading. Use this lesson every year to set the tone for what you expect in class; it is a great way to gain insight about your students' current attitudes toward reading while getting to know one another with a higher level thinking activity. We have also recently added a digital version of the Book Talk worksheet to support distance learning and cut down on paper.

Product includes:

• Comprehensive Lesson Plan
• "Book Talk" Worksheet
• 6 Corresponding "Book Quote" signs to hang up around your room
• Digital Worksheet to support distance learning for use with Google Drive - newly added!
• Detailed instructions for accessing digital resource

Though this resource is ideal for the first day of school, it can really be used all year long without modification.
