  4. Covers • Think about the criteria we’ve listed for a GOOD BOOK. • Look at the front and back covers. • What do you notice about the covers? • Is there any evidence that it might meet one of our requirements for good books? Or that it DOES NOT meet them? • Make a note on your table sheet.

  5. Flaps • Think about the criteria we’ve listed for a GOOD BOOK. • Look at the flaps (inside the dust jacket). • What do you notice? • Is there any evidence that it might meet one of our requirements for good books? • Or that DOES NOT meet them? • Make a note on your table sheet.

  6. Text (Story) • Think about the criteria we’ve listed for a GOOD BOOK. • Listen as the book is read. • What do you notice? • Is there any evidence that it might meet one of our requirements for good books? Or that it DOES NOT meet them? • Make a note on your table sheet.

  7. Making a Claim • Review our criteria • Review your notes • As a table, draft a claim about the book which supports your group’s opinion about the quality of the book. SHOULD IT WIN?

  8. Sample Claims • Barnum’s Bones should win the 2015 Kentucky Bluegrass Award because it brings history to life. • The Incredible Ivan is a powerful book because it makes readers think about animal rights. • Wonder is a book all kids should read because it helps us understand people who are different from us.

  9. Try It! • ____________________________________________________________ should (or should not) win the 2015 Kentucky Bluegrass Award because ____________________________ _________________________________________ ________________________________(criterion) . For example, __________.(evidence).

  10. Finding Evidence • Skim or re-read the pages your group has been assigned. • Try to find evidence to support your claim. • Either quote it or describe it. • Explain HOW and WHY it helps prove your claim.

  11. Student Sample Last Laughs is a great book because it makes you think. For example, Katydidn’t was a bug known as a katydid. She tried to jump the car but it turns out she could not and got smashed. You had to think to get the joke.

  12. PQP: Praise, Question, Polish Did your partner take a position as to the quality of the book? Did your partner base that position on a quality indicator of a good book? Did your partner provide specific evidence from the text to support the position?
