Brad and I will let the final four entries speak for themselves, but here’s how YOU and your students can decide who will be named this year’s “World Champion.” The title includes bragging rights, the Vince Lombooki digital badge, and $500 in books for the winner’s classroom or school library.
Step 1: Watch all four booktalks in the video podcast above.
Step 2: Use this link to vote for your favorite booktalk.
Step 3: Cheer on your favorites AND share your own video booktalks using the #30SecondBooktalk hashtag!
Don’t delay. Polls are open through Friday, May 4th. In addition to voting, don’t forget to interact with the finalists on your favorite social media platform using #30SecondBooktalk. (This is how many schools share their students’ incredible work as well.)
