Strategy to Inspire Student Writing
Writing doesn't have to be a daunting task—let's make it exciting! Some students feel overwhelmed when asked to write more than a couple of sentences. But fear not, we've got a fun solution: a virtual class library on Padlet!
Let's transform into expert "Booktokers" and build our very own digital library. Each student will recommend a book to the class, creating a space for lively discussions and literary exploration.
To make the experience even more dynamic, let's follow a structured format. Here are eight key points to help guide students' book recommendations:
TITLE AND AUTHOR (+ PHOTO OF THE BOOK COVER)
1. Favourite Character: Who stole the show for you?
2. Plot Summary: Give us a glimpse without revealing too much!
3. Favourite Part: The moment that left you spellbound.
4. Not-So-Favourite Part: Was there a twist that caught you off guard?
5. What I Learned: Share the valuable lessons the book taught you.
6. Funny Moment: Did the book make you laugh out loud?
7. Rating (5 stars): A quick summary of your overall impression.
8. Who Would Like This Book: Recommend it to specific tastes or preferences.
This structured approach serves as a stepping stone to longer, more comprehensive writing activities. It not only engages students in thoughtful reflection but also encourages them to consider various aspects of storytelling.
So, are you ready to embark on this literary adventure with your students? Let the Booktoking begin! Have a look at mine on the following link.
Using Padlet to share book recomendations is a brilliant idea! I have always thought of using Padlet for the teacher. So the students could have resources and tasks on there but this idea is great and it is a way for them to write and for them to get motivated to read more!

I found the activity you proposed to be fantastic. I believe it's a great way to motivate our students to read, especially since reading is often not very engaging for them. Through this activity and your approach to providing feedback, we are also encouraging them in another significant challenge they usually face, which is writing.
Really, I congratulate you... I think it's brilliant!"
