Often during our advisory offerings, students can select a library activity that includes a combination of print or electronic books, videos, and articles or websites related to a timely topic. Recently, students could sign up for AO's related to the children's books Snowflake Bentley and A Tower of Giraffes.
In each session, students listened to read-alouds of the books to start the sessions, paying attention to the sidebars in Snowflake Bentley and to the illustration style in A Tower of Giraffes. Students then accessed the Google Draw one-pager related to each book.

Taking inspiration from choice boards, one-pagers usually include video links, articles, or links to official sites when applicable. Students then have time to read about and watch related content as they choose. Other timely one-pagers that included children's picture books included topics such as these:
- National Reptile Awareness Day (blog post) that incorporated several different fiction children's books featuring a variety of reptiles
- Roller coasters (blog post) that included Marla Frazee's book Roller Coaster
- Chocolate (one-pager) that included the Who Was? biography of Milton Hershey
- Mo Willems's Pigeon (one-pager) featuring several Pigeon books
With many more weeks of school to come, children's book one-pagers are sure to continue as AO offerings. Stay tuned!
