I always like inviting other teachers, especially from disciplines outside English, to come and talk about their favorite books. And when they do, I take a quick picture and turn their book talk into a poster for our classroom wall. That way, students have a visual record of the many recommendations they have heard from the adults at our school.
I've been experimenting with the site Teachers Pay Teachers, and just put up a step-by-step tutorial for how to make these posters there. Go

What do you think of the whole Teachers Pay Teachers idea? It's obviously skyrocketed in popularity for the primary classroom, but seems to be just catching on in the secondary realm. Would you share your resources there?
