Question

Classroom Library:

Ask all your classmates to donate a book each to the class. In this way everyone will have a book of his/her own to read. Read the book in a week or two. After reading it, exchange your book with your classmate. Keep exchanging and reading books for the whole year. Every fortnight give the book review of the book that you have read recently in the form of presentation.

Answer 1

To help your class launch this successfully and keep track of all the books, here is a step-by-step game plan you can share with your classmates or teacher.

Step-by-Step Launch Plan:

1. The Book Drive: Have everyone bring in one book they are willing to share for the school year. Label the inside cover with the owner’s name so it doesn’t get lost.
2. Build the Catalogue: List all the books on a sheet of paper or a simple spreadsheet. This is your “library catalogue,” so everyone knows what choices are available.
3. First Reading Round: Everyone picks a book to start with. Spend the next two weeks reading your chosen book during free periods or at home.
4. The Fortnightly Review: Hold your first presentation day! Share a quick thought about the book you just finished before handing it off to the next person.
5. The Great Exchange: Pass your finished book to a classmate who wants to read it next, check a new one off the catalogue, and repeat the cycle!
