= to Mayer Book Share!= This is your opportunity to visit about the books you are reading. This will take the place of the pair-share, normally used at times in class. You will have an opportunity to talk about characters, plot, setting, type or format of book, and other elements of what you are reading. You can recommend books to each other. Now some guidelines:
 * a minimum of 3 posts a week
 * language appropriate
 * discussion relating only to the books not just chit-chat
 * be specific in your comments - not "I like this book" or "I hate this book" You must substantiate your comment with WHY i.e. "I really like this book **because** it's characters are so believable. They seem to be my best friends."
 * You should also ask questions about parts in the book that maybe puzzle you and see if someone else has ideas on how to make sense of it
 * Recommend books, i.e. " I think (name) would really like this book **because** . . ."
 * Discuss characters, plot, etc. with someone who has already the book you are reading
 * You can compare a book you are reading to a movie made of it and how it is different and which you liked better and WHY
 * This is your chance to make a connection from the book you are reading to other books you have read with the same theme
 * Respond to other student and teacher comments/threads - this is a dialogue so enjoy!
