This week 7th graders started their new book club groups. This quarter the genre is science fiction books. The books being read this quarter include Ender’s Game, The Ear, the Eye, & the Arm, and Life As We Knew It. Students received their books today and met with their group members to develop the reading schedule and set goals and ground rules for the meetings. Each book club group will meet for eight discussion sessions throughout the month of November. During each meeting, students discuss reading log reflections, literary elements, opinions, frustrations, interesting quotes, predictions, etc. The concluding assessment projects will be completed in December. Students will create a book review individually and work as a group to develop a tour presentation of the events and settings in their books.
