I would like to have a Juniper Book Talk show in an effort to help increase reading comprehension of all second grade students. There will be different students who act as the host and as many guests that we can accommodate, we will. The students will have to write story summaries in order to be a guest on the show. We have pitched this idea to the second grade students and they love it! We have several students who have already created written summaries. Who says you cannot motivate students?

This is the time you can pull the most "real" school work out of them. Make them earn the camera.
I like the idea (and the enthusiasm it is generating). To sell this, you're going to have to give some thought for the setting to make it as "talk-showy" as possible. I think with a little creative thinking you and your class can come up with something that works visually but isn't too time/money intrusive. Good luck.

Great idea! Maybe it will become an on going project for our school!
