Our highlights included:
- Book, Song or Both - A series of titles was listed, and students had to determine whether each title was a book, a song, or both.
- Bohemian Rhapsody - Words and phrases from Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen were scrambled, and students had to decode them
- Favourite Book or Reading Confession - 10 teachers provided either their favourite book or their reading confession, and students had to decide for each teacher if they had a favourite book or confession and then matched either the book or confession.
- She Needs a New Book - Students were invited to nominate a character from any book and recommend a book to feature that character in, providing reasons for their choice.
- 1 Star Character Review - It gave students a chance to list why any character from any book deserved a one-star rating.
- What's in her bag? - Students nominate a character of their choice from any book and list five items that you would find in their bag.
We also had a Book Week quiz, which concluded the week on the Friday.
While our activities may not be as extravagant as other schools, it does show that you can still put on a good Book Week program of activities for students. Some of our competitions received a good number of entries, and even a few Year 12 students decided to have a go to let off some steam after the HSC Trial Exams.
