Book Tasting

Students in all grade levels, pre-k through 5th grade get to come to our GM restaurant-library to taste different kinds of books. A menu is offered with different options for them to taste such as: Fiction, Historical Fiction, Realistic Fiction, Science Fiction, Mystery, Non-Fiction, Poetry, Biographies, and Autobiographies. Each table is set up with a table cover, table mats, plates, utensils, plastic cups, napkins, and books. A label is displayed in the center of each table featuring a different literary genre. The class is divided into groups of four, each group goes to a table, students open the book on their plate, and using the utensils pretend to eat the books. They look at the pictures and/or reading searching for the features of the particular literary genre displayed in the table.
