SEC: Library activities

[C & A Laferla <clant@MAIL.MELITA.NET>]

Hello friends...
Personal & School background: I have been working as a librarian in my
school for the past month.  There are 500 students with age range
between: 10 yrs [Junior 6] up to 15 yrs [5th Form].  Unfortunately, as
yet, most of the users are from Junior 6 with a handful of others from
Form 1. Before I started work in this school [no need to mention the
usual talk about: outdated books; no librarian; mess; etc. etc.], the
admin bought some 36 Classics: Dracula; Robin Hood, Peter Pan, The
Invisible Man, etc. etc.  They are well presented books and at the
moment, the students are reading them.

Thus, I am taking the opportunity to start the first library activity in
my school called - Book Discussion.  The following is its description:
 - the student has to give a small presentation of the Classic read;
 - he has to make a two page book review so that when we have
Internet     it can be put on;
 - the other students will ask some questions [some spontaneously and
some prepared by me] to encourage discussion;
 - we will have a play about the book read which will be lead by the
student who read that particular book.

What I would like to know from you is the following:
1. your comments
2. suggestions
3. if I should dedicate a fixed day for such an activity and afterwards
introduce other activities like story telling; talent shows etc. which
in return will have their own fixed day.

TIA - I'll post a hit
PS - you can use my ideas if you like too and if they are stupid...throw
them away!
