Third and fourth graders rotated through 8 Jill Esbaum stations. Five of them had her Angry Birds books there that had a QR code on the inside, linked to a Padlet question about the book. Here's what the Padlet looked like for the Angry Birds Playground: Q & A Book:






There were other stations that had her picture books, non-fiction books, and her biography from her website. The kids really enjoyed getting to read some of these books and take some time to look at them. Here's a few pictures of the fun:
