In Class we will decide that best way to create this annotated Bibliography. The requirements have changed from 200 books to 10 books/week/student. Think about what is important for you to know as a teacher when deciding books to read in your classroom or to recommend to parents and your students. How would you like to organize this page. Genre, Reading Level, Author, Grade level? Any other ideas? Please post or discuss in class.

Being that I really don’t know where I will be in 2012, I think that it would be more beneficial that the books are listed by grade level. I know that I might have a grade level that I want to teach in my head, but it doesn’t necessarily mean I will end up teaching that particular grade. When I get to the point of having my classroom I think it would be helpful to have a grade specific list so that if I am teaching 2nd grade I have a collection of good books for this grade level.

I agree that grade level will be very beneficial once we are ready to walk into our own classroom. I think genre and reading level would also be beneficial to include in a brief summary of each book. RBK

Maybe we could create a list of criteria that are important to us. Then we could create an Excel Spreadsheet or Word table to input the information in. If there was a field for each area (grade level, genre, author, etc.), we could search the bibliography at any time for a specific criteria. (10 books a week) X (14 students) X (15 weeks) = over 2100 entries. Compiling it all into a searchable document would allow us alot of flexibility as well as enable us to identify duplications. Upon completion we would have a condensed review of 2000 books that we could search for material quickly and as necessary. Including a field for keywords that relate to the subject matter of the book would enable us to search for a specific topic as well. JRF

I think we need to utilize as many sources and with all of us doing this project, we should get some good feedback. I think we should try to get a variety of levels and not be restricted to one and then that just expands our knowledge when we get in the real world. LDD

Great ideas! Criteria will be discussed and finalized in class for continuity. AS Where are the spell checkers for my posts!
