West Elementary Votes for Books
West Elementary fourth and fifth graders vote for their favorite books and design the cover for those books.
West Elementary fourth and fifth grade students recently completed the Massachusetts Children's Book Award Program, which encourages reading for pleasure by involving students in grades 4-6 throughout the State in an "election" determines the most popular book title from a list of 25 professionally-selected nominees. The winning author is awarded the MCBA based on ballot tallies from all participating Massachusetts students in grades 4-6.
Library media specialist Linda Shannon and Art specialist Elyse Robbins collaborated on the book cover project. Students were given the assignment to use their imaginations to create a book cover based on their interpretations of character, plot, theme, or setting of their selected MCBA nominee. The cover was to be unique to the student and not a recreation of the original cover.
