Summer Storytelling Experience Edition
Summer Storytelling 2023
Read a book and do a project
Read a book of your choice and do either a book talk or a review, using Adobe Express (free). Bookmark our library collection to select your choice. Remember, audio books, graphic novels, non-fiction, fiction-- it all counts as reading!
Book Review Template
Share what you read using this template in Adobe Express. You will share a summary without spoilers, include the title, author, your name, a teaser quote, and an image to represent the book (we love building community this way). Share your work at bit.ly/submitsummerlit
Record a book talk
Prefer talking about the book? Record a 1-minute spoiler-free review of the book, keeping in mind your audience. See Ms. Snow's example below. Camera shy? Use Adobe Animate from audio pictured above. Turn in your work here: bit.ly/submitsummerlit
Booktalk Sample: The Silence That Binds Us
Watch Ms. Snow's book talk on The Silence that Binds Us, by local author Joanna Ho. This is an example of one of the projects you can do for your Summer Storytelling experience! Find out more by visiting bit.ly/SUMMERLIT. We sincerely hope to invite Joanna Ho to speak at Sequoia in the fall.
