====This wiki is a place for Rhode Island Media Specialists to collaborate on the Rooster Games, and to share promotional materials for the RICBA nominees. If you would like to assist in creating the games, please ask to join this wiki with the link above. We all plan and deliver the Rooster games differently to accommodate our schools' student populations so please don't think that what we create on this Wiki is the "only way". This Wiki will help us share the joy of creating the question rounds without the hassle of scheduling face-to-face meetings. Let's make this Wiki a truly collaborative working environment. Feel free to add pages, pictures and content as needed.====

I use this powerpoint for bulletin board purposes. My classroom teachers print it out four slides to a page, and they attach it to a wall chart where kids keep track of the books they're reading for the year. This is how kids enter our Rooster Games. They have to read at least 10 titles. We get most of our 5th graders engaged!!!

We used this PowerPoint to introduce our Summer Reading requirements as well as provide an intro to the Rooster Games books. This file has external links to author websites and book talk videos on YouTube (some better than others). I down loaded the videos directly from YouTube so that we didn't have the commercials and external websites. The videos are posted below for those who do not have access to YouTube. The citations for the videos are included in this PowerPoint.
