Welcome to Mrs. Airaudi's Language Arts Booktalk! 

     Thank you for visiting this site!  This is a place where students, teachers, and parents can talk about the books they are reading, and help others find books they might enjoy as well!  Please feel free to contribute to the discussions as often as you like, keeping in mind that this is a school-related site (which means you need to be sure to keep comments appropriate and constructive)!  Have fun with it!

Here are the student requirements:

      Each quarter, you are required to do the following:

• Post two threads about books you have read that haven't already been posted.  Be sure to include the book title, author, and a short summary of the book (make sure not to give away any endings), and a rating of 1 to 5 (one means the book is ok, 5 is a definite must-read).
• Reply to two existing threads.  You may comment or question, but make sure your posts are meaningful and relevant.  For example if you simply post "this book sounds cool," it will not count for your required posts. 
• You are the "owner" of the threads you start.  Be sure to maintain your thread by checking it regularly.  That means you must answer questions and keep the comments on track (don't let people start talking about unrelated topics.
• Lastly, for extra credit (one point per post), students may encourage their parents to post threads and/or comment on existing threads.  If parents would like to participate, but internet access is an issue, please have students see me.
