Before I placed these titles on a nominating lists, the works had to meet at least two of the following criteria. This open the possibility for popular as well as award winning literature to be placed on the list.
*Amazon Best YA Books 2016 So Far *American Library Association Top Ten YA Books *Barnes & Noble Best YA Books 2016 So Far *Goodreads Reader's Choice Awards (100,000 votes in nomination process -books chosen before the onsite nomination announcement) *National Book Award Distinction *Printz Award *YALSA Teen Top Ten *Other YA website recognition I included the first book of the series-even though a later one met the requirements. These were Court of thorns and roses, The fifth wave, The Raven boys, Six of Crows, Winner's curse, and The wrath of dawn. When making this decision, I determined students would have the opportunity to read the first book before the final vote. In the first round through Thursday November 10, 2016, students will receive a ballot for choosing their top five selections. I will play trailers for each of the 16 works during lunch and after school in the library. Click on the following link for viewing these clippings gelyalit.weebly.com/best-ya-books-2016.html. I will decide on the number of necessary additional rounds for determing the winner based on the preliminary vote. Mr. Calderon and I will purchase the winning books for the library collection. Pay attention to upcoming posts for the final five finalists and the winner! Image Canva CHS Yellowjacket Book of the Year 2016 Display |
