Jane, your bit.ly takes me to Google, but I need permission to view it.

build background knowledge

Gives a good overview.

Gets them interested in the topic.

We would like to peak the students interest!

Build background information, get them excited for what they are going to learn.

peak interest

To get them engaged - give them a visual of the content - build common background

As an introduction to the topic.

Yes, get students interested.

To get them excited about the topic

Are there new books and topics added, or is this a static list?

Got all the 50 state books on last year.

Will you be going over how to share these items with students via Google Classroom? I spy the Google Classroom button! Yeah!

Melanie, isn’t it nice! We’ve been asking Scholastic to do that forever. They finally added it this past fall.

YES! Love it! So much easier!

Jane - did you see my message earlier - I need permission to access the bit.ly. Unless I'm doing something wrong . . .

Sorry, Barb, I didn’t see it. I will see if I can give you permission.

OK, Barb. Try it now.

Will students still need to "sign in" once they click on the link in GC?

We use Canvas. What would be the best way to link to that?

Yes...

I assume we would use our building UN/PW?

Sounds good!

Thanks!

Next school year when we have Classlink up and running then they will not need to add username and password

Got it, Jane - thanks!

You’re welcome!

Thanks!

I work with younger students, so I would adapt the quizzes to model- Answering the question and showing

Use these to practice literacy skills

I like that it will define the words for students, and the read aloud with different paces.

how it is found in the text

Very timely right now! My team needs to develop a literacy task for all 3rd graders in Mason City for next week. This resource would make it so easy - all would have free access!

Asking questions and then reading to find answers.

compare and contrast

I like the layout of these books which really models all non-fiction books and can teach good researching skills.

I appreciate that the resource links are vetted!!

Like the video to get them interested!

We could use it as an outlining method. Tell the topic sentence of a paragraph and then list two or three supporting details.

Yes, great visuals from the intro videos to the books.

Good to teach non-fiction text structures!

I've used these books to teach how to use an index.

Great ideas all!

Can you please remind us how to get to this "Implementation Guide"?

we have a non-fiction writing unit and these books are great models for structure of non-fiction text!

Thanks!

That all students should be able to access the text with the read aloud option. This is great and so timely!

Quality texts, and it's all ONLINE! :)

I love being able to assign to google classroom and finding books that are lined up to the reading abilities of the students

Gives students and teachers so many choices on how to get this good information.

Possibly off-topic question… Linking to the I Survived books, which are SO popular right now - info of the real event to go along with the I survived books?

If those are in MackinVIA, you could create groups.

Just wondering if there was anything already in place for linking those.

THANK YOU!I've used AEA resources like TRUE FLIX and BOOK FLIX for years. This was a great reminder during online distance learning.

I agree with Mary - a great reminder!

Great information, as always! Thank you!

No questions. Thank you!

We sure do appreciate ALL of you!!! Thank you for this!

Thanks so much!

Thanks!

Yes, thanks so much. Great information was shared today!

Actually, one question: Are we able to share the link to this presentation with our teams?

Can you please tell us more about the 1 PM session? Unfortunately, I now can't attend that one. Can I still get the "slides' somehow?

Yes. You may share the links with your teams.

Thanks!

PERFECT! Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for attending!

Have a great Easter weekend everyone & please let us know how else we can assist with adjusting to your 'New Normal'. :)

Thanks!
