Teen Program - Book and Movie Trivia
This​ handout portrays a group led teen program for a public library. Our program consisted of five genres of books with their corresponding movies: historical fiction, biography, graphic novels, fantasy, and science fiction. We had four teams of five, and each team threw two giant dice where the dices determined what type of task they were supposed to do as well as what movie they were to do these tasks for as well. The tasks were: trivia question, physical task (ex. throwing a ball threw a hoop), and a puzzle. The team that won this event would have their picture taken for a "Read" poster holding their favorite book based off a movie that would be displayed prominently in the library entrance.
​
Our purpose for this type of event was to show that teenagers, who might be reluctant readers, have the chance to get hooked into books by reading the books that were based off of their favorite movies. All of our movie choices had to have an MPAA rating of no higher than PG-13.
4 & 5 Year-Old Storytime Handout - Brookfield Public Library
This​ handout was for a four and five year old storytime that I presented at Brookfield Public Library during my practicum the summer of 2012.​
I kept their summer reading theme for that year of "Reading is so Delicious!", but incorporated a broader subject on food festivals that occur all across the United States. I read two stories; one on Cinco de Mayo and the other on the Chinese Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. The activity that I had the children do was to match different pieces of fruit to their corresponding food festival, (ex. the National Strawberry Festival in Belleville, MI) on a white board, and had them create a corn craft out of green and yellow construction paper as well as popcorn.
