FAME 2025

CHOOSE Your Own ADVENTURE with Teens Pick 3

Ever wonder what some Media Specialists do to draw in avid reading enthusiasts along with incognito reading lovers and even some of the most reluctant readers? Take a look at this year's events to get the whole school involved and walk away with activities to use with your students! 

Our Choose Your Own Adventure weaves themes found throughout several books from this year's FTR book list. At the beginning of each year, the FTR books are promoted through our English/Reading department. Students come to the media center for our FTR Book Premiere Event which showcases the new list of titles. Books are presented as book trailer previews at the theaters to grab their attention while students rate each one with x number of stars or play various games from Guess the Quote or Flip-Flop & Figure It Out. These quick and easy hooks introduce a variety of genres by engaging our students in a non-intimidating way that even our reluctant readers enjoy. The FAME conference theme along with the 1980's/90’s style Choose Your Own Adventure books are what inspired this year's book celebration ideas. From this year’s FTR Pick 3 comes a day of stars, 3D printing, games, poetry, mobile planetarium, NASA cryogenics presentation, and a customized menu for our students to experience thereby bringing these stories to life.  Bonus the Choose Your Own Adventure bookmarks will have your students star-struck! 

Our goal with these projects is to cultivate a culture of readers and to bring excitement to our students so they can experience the variety of adventures that books can offer. Students experience books with their peers that generate conversations and discussions about real-world possibilities, it ignites creativity and imagination and maybe even a future author.
