Today is the day to present the LATI project that I chose. I learned so muech by doing this project called Mom, I Hate To Read for 5th-8th graders who hate to read. The first part was to provide a brochure with tips for parents/guardians . The 2nd part was to provide reader'[s advisory for librarians. I found this amazing as I learned about lexiles a measure of reading level for books that allows those with difficulty in reading to find books with appropriate material on their reading level.
The third part of my project was a YouTube video for the actual middle school age. After having a forum with a group of Middle School students I learned that funny ( meaning random and bloopers) along with being recommended by friends, having a lot of hits on the youtube site, having a catchy first slide was what made for a good video.
I found a middle school young man, Ian who worked with me to produce Come Here. http://www.youtube.com and then search by Come Here/rats. This video reflects too much input from adults - some feedback has been wrong music; a bit long; first slide doesn't grab you. However saying all that for a first try it was GOOD and Cute And Enjoyable to Watch.
take time and watch it.
It was suggested that a contest be run among the middle school SRC volunteers to see who could produce the best video. This is something for the future.
Also, I like the thought of incorporating videos on the library web patch and have them change on a regular basis. I think once the non-readers were caught they would go back again and again to see what was there. Key KEEP Them Funny and Random and include some bloopers.
