For this week's prompt, I would like you to write a booktalk based on a book that you've read. It doesn't need to be one you've read for this class but it certainly can be. Use the formula from the Baker article in the syllabus:Baker, J. (2010). Booktalking for Adult Audiences. Reference & User Services Quarterly, 49(3), 234-8. Retrieved from Library Lit & Inf Full Text databaseRead it out loud to yourself and make sure it sounds as good spoken as it looks written down. If you would like to record yourself reading it and post it for us, that would be super fun but is by no means required.
Also, I would like to hear your thoughts on a statement Baker makes in the article. She believes it is important, when preparing a booktalk, to "Choose only books you have loved and actually read." Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
Remember, by the end of this week (Sunday February 23) I will need your:
- Prompt Responses
- Romance, Gentle Reads, and Horror Annotations
Thanks, I look forward to reading your responses!
I am not quite sure how to get access to Baker's article. Help?
ReplyDeleteHi Christina,
ReplyDeleteIt is available through several of the IUPUI library databases. If I don't post an article listed on the syllabus in Oncourse resources, that is always where you need to look. The one I listed in the citation, Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts with Full Text you can find here.
I know you are new to the program, and you haven't had Reference yet, correct? Please always let me know if you are having problems finding the articles listed as to be read in the syllabus! Feel free to send me an email through Oncourse or at carricee@gmail.com if you need more specific instructions. Or call or text me at 317-270-8286 if you need help right away.
If we don't post the audio version of our book talk are we supposed to post the print version?
