047. "Troybery Author Blitz & Young Teen Lit" with Christina Chatel
Season 2 · Episode 47
lundi 3 février 2025 • Duration 49:45
I had heard Christina discussing her passion for getting publishers to focus on books for our 12-15 year olds on Amy Hermon's School Librarians United podcast, and was completely on board with her message. Months later, I happened to come across Christina on Bluesky, where we were able to connect and share some ideas. And now she's here to share some of those ideas with you, too!
Guest: Christina Chatel
Grade(s) Taught: 6, 7, 8

Troybery Author Blitz Lesson: https://troymiddleschoolmediacenter.weebly.com/troybery.html
-
Add'l Info: The Troybery Author Blitz supports our Troybery Reading Program, now in its 25th year. Annually we choose a list of around 20-30 titles. Students vote them down to the top 10 and then Troybery Award winner. As part of Troybery, we host the Author Blitz, where we offer a virtual author visit every hour of the school day. Teachers from across curriculum tune in to these 30 minute author visits, where authors plead their case for students to read their books and vote for them. The librarians moderate the Q&A portion with pre-submitted and live questions. Teachers and students look forward to this event every year--we tell teachers, "Let your librarian do your lesson plans for the day!"
