DESCRIPTION

Last year, I had students respond on a wiki about the books chosen for that year. I asked them to fill out short responses to a choice of prompts. This year they ranked the books using 0-5 as indicators of likes and dislikes.The digit 0 ment that they had not read the book. Then the survey asked students to rank their responses to the book with: 1 = poor; 2 = okay; 3 = good; 4 = very good; and 5 = excellent.

REFLECTION

The form itself was quite easy to set up. I chose to have students rank the 2009-2010 choices for Maryland's Black Eyed Susan books for Grades 4-6.

The students could rate several books at the same number and some did. One consistant to the survey was that noone had read one book. I discovered when I did the survey that the book had never been sent to us by the book vendor. I bought a copy this past spring for my home collection. I brought it to school and added it to the school library collection. One of my survey students checked it out as soon as it was added.

Another surprise was how many students had read books from the Bowie Library. I could see which ones that they had checked out of my library and that is how I selected who was taking the survey. Several students who I had down as readign one book had actually read more. The students liked that the survey took about 30 seconds or less to complete. We used the visual aid of the Black Eyed Susan poster to identify which books they read. I will use this to predict which book should win the award at our school and to encourage more students to read the books so they can do the survey as well.
