Book Chat

I felt like it was very chaotic at first! Everything that was planned just got thrown out the window, and I was faced with the question what do I do? However, isn't that like a normal day at school? Things never go the way you plan, you just have to be flexible! Once I got past the shock that I wasn't the one asking the first question, I settled down on my couch and just enjoyed listening to the author. It's not every day that you can pick apart the brain of a published author (unless you talk to Maria) and it was interesting to hear why he did the things that he did. I would definitely use this in a classroom, but I would try to structure it where only one question was asked at a time. Perhaps by using one computer in a classroom and have the student actually get up and type the question and then wait for the response. It was a very enjoyable experience, and I think everyone can learn something from the book chat!
