BOOK TALKS!
Over Spring Break please choose a book of your choice. Do a Book Talk that you can share. You can share this with me at imlagrana@educbe.ca
Use the link below to use Graphic Organizers to help guide the steps of a book talk. Feel free to download and print and then use to create the finished product on Google Slides. This is NOT mandatory but just a suggestion for a fun activity to do over break or while at home over the next little while.
