This "booktalk-within-a-booktalk" comes from 
Elizabeth Cutter
, a teacher educator (and personal friend) who is working hard to support her teacher candidates with ideas for online teaching. The author, Jeannie Mobley, is a Colorado author and a former student of Elizabeth Cutter! The booktalk features Mobley's book titled Katerina's Wish, a middle level story of a coal mining camp in southern Colorado in the early 1900s.
I know a lot of school and public librarians are offering both booktalks and read alouds online right now, but I think Beth's booktalk can serve as a model for any teacher. Furthermore, the possibilities for combining these particular books with primary sources are rich and varied.
Sincere thanks to
Elizabeth Cutter
for saving her video to YouTube and for allowing me to share it with all of you!

A great idea for students as well as teachers. Students who would prefer to discuss a book on video might be an opportunity to combine content with tech skills.
