Hinton's The Outsiders for the first time and fell hard for bad boy Dallas Winston (didn't hurt that I had Matt Dillon as a visual!). What better way to get teens pumped for Valentine's Day and all things romance than to get them to share their book crushes? When I was sixteen, I read S.E. Regardless of the outcome, there's the consolation prize of some candy for taking a chance on book love.įebruary is one of my favorite months being a school librarian, because it's all about the LOVE. The idea is to step outside your book dating comfort zone and try something new!Įvery student who goes on a book blind date can report back with a brief review letting us know if he/she'd give it a rose or send it packing home. Who knows, he/she might even fall in love with the book! We ask they at least give the book a few chapters before kicking it to the curb, and who knows - it might be love and the student will want to go out with other books by that author or in that genre. My fabbo new intern, Janet Allen, approached me with this idea, and I said, "Start your matchmaking!" The idea is to pull books, wrap them up, and then give students the opportunity to choose a book to take on a date (y'know, check-out) and see if they're compatible. I may tinker a bit more with these tasks, but so far I've got.įor students who might not have a book boyfriend or book babe in his/her life, there's always the chance of meeting a potential book crush on a book blind date. Others can be done on their own time at home - they're probably on many of these sites already. No surprise, my school district blocks more than a few of these app sites, which is why I am going to allow students to use their Smartphones and devices in my presence for a few of the hole-punches. Students can use their Smartphones, iPods, iPads, and other devices to complete their mission both in the library with me or at home. The prize will be a giftcard to the new WalMart opening in our town this March, and everyone who gives it the ol' high school try will get some candy for their efforts.
Students who wish to participate will be given a card filled with apps, as seen in the picture above, and as they complete tasks having to do with those apps (see below), I'll hole-punch them until they're done. The plan is to sponsor a month-long "Scappenger Hunt." So since I'm giving myself some extra time for this, I decided to adapt a scavenger hunt idea I saw on Pinterest (but, of course!) to use with my kiddos for Teen Tech Month.
