Hey everyone, welcome to my video. This is so exciting. I'm doing a video for all of you. 00:00:04
And today I'm going to teach all of you about World Book Day, which I think a lot of you know 00:00:10
about, but we're just going to review it anyway. So World Book Day is a celebration and event 00:00:17
created by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, 00:00:22
to promote reading and publishing and copyright. 00:00:28
It was established in 1995, and it is celebrated every year on April 23rd 00:00:31
to coincide with the deaths of famous Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes 00:00:38
and also English author William Shakespeare. 00:00:43
And so all the United Nations member states from all over the world 00:00:47
celebrate the day and do so in many different ways. 00:00:50
and today specifically I'm going to teach you about how we do World Book Day in the United 00:00:53
States. So let's get started about talking about what what do we do in the United States, like what 00:00:59
did I do when I was in elementary and secondary school in the United States, mainly elementary 00:01:04
school. But one thing that we used to have is we have a book fair, which I think you guys have here 00:01:10
in Spain and Madrid. So basically a book fair is where we would take our school libraries in our 00:01:17
school and we would turn them into like a small bookstore so there would be uh books games and 00:01:22
other things related to reading and writing that you could buy um and take home with you to have 00:01:29
at your house and also a lot of the time we had people come in and read stories and we also had 00:01:34
like games and all kinds of fun prizes at book fairs so they happened the whole week of world 00:01:39
book day so they were always super fun and i always loved um in my school i remember in my 00:01:43
elementary school we had like a certain time throughout the week where your class would go 00:01:49
for like an hour and a half and just get to have like the whole book fair to yourself and that was 00:01:54
always the best and I always loved it so if you've never got a chance to go to a book fair um go to 00:01:59
one especially um they're super fun and you can find out about all these great cool books you 00:02:04
never knew of before to the book fairs we had um my favorite thing that we did um when I was in 00:02:09
elementary school to celebrate world book day is we would have what we call a read-a-thon so 00:02:15
basically a read-a-thon is basically everyone comes to school and everyone would come dressed 00:02:20
in their pajamas and comfy clothes and they would bring blankets and pillows from home and basically 00:02:25
we would just read the whole day like that was all we got to do of course we'd get to go out for 00:02:30
like recess and run around on the playground but when we weren't doing that like we just got to 00:02:35
read all day in our comfy clothes and our pajamas and just hang out um i always brought like four 00:02:39
or five books because you read all day like what else are you gonna do so I would just bring a ton 00:02:44
of books in case I finished one and I could go on to another one um but it was so much fun I loved 00:02:49
it me and my friends like would wear like matching pajamas and we would like read the same book and 00:02:55
we would just like get in like a cuddle puddle full of pillows and blankets it was amazing um 00:03:00
and so also like sometimes our teachers and even some of our classmates like if they were able to 00:03:06
would bring in snacks and little drinks so we'd have like we'd almost be like reading our books 00:03:11
and having like high tea in the afternoon it was kind of crazy but it was so much fun um and then 00:03:16
I know my teacher um would give prizes for like the most books read uh in a day but they had to 00:03:22
be like certain amount of pages they had to be at like a certain reading level and all that but like 00:03:28
yeah so we had we had games we had blankets we had comfy clothes we had snacks it was like 00:03:33
kind of like an all-day party so I mean bring it up with your teachers your English teachers maybe 00:03:39
and see if you guys can have like a reading day because how fun is that you just read all day 00:03:45
and get to like hang out with your friends I think it's wonderful so readathons really fun 00:03:50
my favorite part of world book day for sure in the United States before you have your readathon 00:03:55
let's do a quick little recap about all the things that you're gonna need to have a successful 00:04:01
wonderful, fabulous read-a-thon in your school. To have the best and most perfect read-a-thon 00:04:06
experience, you're going to need some comfy clothes, you're gonna need a blanket, you're 00:04:13
gonna need a pillow, you're gonna need some books, you're gonna need some snacks, you're gonna need 00:04:22
a drink and let's not forget have a big old smile on your face because reading is so much fun so 00:04:32
we've talked about the book fair we've talked about the read-a-thon we talked about what you 00:04:38
need for your read-a-thon um now i'm just gonna talk about some of the other things that we did 00:04:42
um i know in one of my classes one year we did a lot of arts and crafts and basically i mean by 00:04:47
arts and crafts like we made like posters and we wrote these little summaries about our favorite 00:04:54
books and share them with the class, hoping that on World Book Day and during the read-a-thon that 00:04:59
they might be inspired and pick up our book that we suggested and read it. So that was something 00:05:04
we did and it was always super fun. So now you might be asking yourself, but Taylor, like what 00:05:10
were some of your favorite books to read? And I'm glad you asked that question. It's a great question 00:05:16
because I'm going to tell you all about them right now. So now let's talk about your teacher 00:05:21
Taylor's favorite books in school I will tell you right now I'm not a big reader 00:05:26
but these books for some reason just really captured my attention so when I 00:05:31
was in primary school and even a part of secondary school my favorite book series 00:05:37
to read was the series of unfortunate events you guys might know these books 00:05:41
or have read them and they're very popular they've been translated into 41 00:05:46
different languages including Spanish the Spanish translation I will put right 00:05:51
here for you so you can have that. So just a little bit about the series. 00:05:55
The series has 13 books in total and they're always more than about 200 pages 00:06:01
in length. So they're a little bit longer but they're still really good books. 00:06:05
They're my favorite because they're just so full of mystery, adventure, suspense. 00:06:08
You never know what is gonna happen next in these books. It's just like a 00:06:13
never-ending, like, winding road that you just can't find the end of. But 00:06:17
eventually, of course, it comes to an end. But getting there seems like it takes 00:06:21
forever and it's funny because the book has a passage in the beginning written 00:06:24
by the author Lemony Snicket and he drops little clues little Easter eggs 00:06:30
going back to our Easter presentation right little Easter eggs and little 00:06:36
clues to kind of give you an idea about what's gonna happen in the book but like 00:06:40
I could never ever figure them out alright so now we've kind of talked 00:06:44
about the books let's talk more about them in depth so let me give you a quick 00:06:49
little summary just in case you might be interested in going to read these at some point. So the books 00:06:53
follow the three Baudelaire children and their unfortunate adventures that basically start when 00:06:59
their parents die in a fire and they are left as orphans and they're forced to move and stay with 00:07:06
different distant relatives in each book. So in every book they're with some distant relative 00:07:12
that they may have never even met before in their life. 00:07:17
But the most famous of these relatives who appears in every book 00:07:21
and is actively trying to get rid of the children 00:07:25
so he can take all their fortune because they're very rich 00:07:28
is the evil Count Olaf. 00:07:30
The books, even though they're pretty much written for people 00:07:34
who are like preteens and teenagers, 00:07:38
they highlight many aspects of human behavior 00:07:40
and show the strength and resilience of people 00:07:43
who decide to put their own faith in their hands 00:07:46
and to basically lead the life they want to lead. 00:07:51
So I think that's a really cool message 00:07:55
to be teaching people, teenagers and preteens, 00:07:56
because I know a lot of the time, 00:08:00
I know when I was a teenager, 00:08:02
I was very insecure. 00:08:03
I wasn't very sure of myself. 00:08:05
I was really shy and I just didn't know what to do. 00:08:06
And so those books were really inspiring 00:08:09
because as someone who wanted to be 00:08:12
and continues to want to be really in control of their life 00:08:14
and being able to make their own decisions, 00:08:17
I was really inspired by the characters in the book 00:08:18
who, against all odds, 00:08:20
would keep succeeding and succeeding and succeeding 00:08:23
and making it through the hard times. 00:08:24
So that was really cool. 00:08:27
Yeah, and they also just, 00:08:30
they made me feel really good when I was younger. 00:08:31
They gave me a great escape from reality 00:08:33
and I could just put my head down into the book 00:08:35
and just read it and leave the world behind for a while. 00:08:38
So that was always nice. 00:08:41
And so for that reason, 00:08:42
And they have a really special place in my heart. And I think I've read this series at least three or four times through. And so, yeah, they're just my favorite. They're just my favorite. And maybe when I get back to the States, I'll read them again, pick them up and read them again. So why not? 00:08:44
um and so i hope you um if you feel like this is a cool book um take the opportunity to read it 00:08:59
um i would definitely say read them in english um but you know if you can't then do it in spanish 00:09:06
but i definitely recommend english because i know i've seen the book with the spanish translation 00:09:11
and a lot of like things get missed from the translation so you can read in english um do it 00:09:16
i know as you get further along in school like it'll become easier um you'll learn more english 00:09:23
So reading the books won't be that difficult. So I say when you get up to like four days 00:09:29
So try it out read it and then you can tell me how you like it 00:09:33
so yeah, but 00:09:38
That's that's kind of it. So you guys for watching this video 00:09:40
I know it's kind of long but I hope you enjoy seeing me because I feel like I haven't seen you in forever and I miss 00:09:44
You and I can't wait to hear about your favorite books that you're gonna put on the padlet board 00:09:49
So I'm excited for that 00:09:54
But just keep up the hard work everyone and I hopefully hopefully we'll see you soon. But until then bye 00:09:56
