A Boy's Way to Present a Book Talk

May 26, 2009 by MomentsMom

My son’s grade school teacher told the students to use technology to present their book talks this quarter. Here’s what he came up with:

It’s for a book called “Simon Bloom – The Gravity Keeper” by Michael Reisman.

Simon Bloom cover

He was so excited about the video that he said, “Mom, the trouble is…I think it makes the book look better than it actually was.”

Hey, IMO, if it gets a kid to read a book, that’s all that matters.

Oh, and, yeah, it looked cool. Really cool.

    Wow, that was most excellent! I also just reserved the book for Chris at the library. I bet he would love it.

    Jimmeny! made ME want to read it!!
    So did his teacher let him teach class on how to do presentation after he did his?

    Because an “A” wouldn’t be enough, IMHO.
