Each one of you has a book from our classroom library on your desk.
You will have 5 minutes to read the back of the book/the first couple of pages.
Write the title of each book next to each number as you receive it and jot notes about why you think each book may be a good book to read.
Once the time is up, you will pass the book to your neighbor.
The timer will start again and you will do the same thing.
At the end of our rotations, you will rank the best books. Example, your favorite book would be #1, etc.
We will then share our responses.
