Students read the descriptions and match to the title of the book displayed. Great for book week and/or as a starter or plenary activity for the topic of reading and/or media.
Questions for use with an authentic resource. I cut the questions into four sections and students work in pairs to answer the questions at each ‘station’ - 7 minutes is usually about right per station.
