Today, we began book clubs. We started the class by doing a chalk talk on good, exciting reading vs. not-so-fun reading. The kids have had both experiences and had a lot to say. We talked about what book clubs are and why we're doing them in class. Miss Devine gave each student a journal that they'll use for book clubs and reading throughout the year. Students assembled in their book clubs and completed a membership grid, set ground rules and made a list of things that active readers do when reading a book. Miss Devine handed out the book club books. Students' homework assignment tonight is to read chapter one of their book and in their journal they are to do one thing that active readers do as they read (their choice).
Finally, we did the current event discussion. Thank you Emma and Thomas for leading the discussions today.
Homework: Read chapter one of book club book. Do one active reading activity.
