CHOICE
One of the best things about book clubs is that the students get to have a voice and choice in what they read. They are so much more motivated to read when they have ownership over their book, and it is about a topic that interests them. The girls ask almost every morning..."Is it time for book clubs yet?" They are always excited about reading and sharing what they learn to their group!
Here are the book clubs in our classroom:
Riding to Freedom by: Pam Munoz Ryan
(Hallie, Mayra, Kaitlyn)
Bridge to Terabithia by: Katherine Paterson
(Zion, Valerie, Emma Moroz, Peyton, Cassy, Jessica)
Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by: Judy Blume
(Katherine, Madison, Morgan, Alyssa, Kassidy)
The BFG by: Roald Dahl
(Carolyn, Reagan, Jadyn, Emma Mize)
RESPONSIBILITY
Each girl has her own job within the book club that she is responsible to complete and share by Friday, and I will let the students blog more details about the job descriptions and responsibilities!
Book Club Jobs:
Discussion Director
Adventuring Artist
Literary Luminary
Stellar Summarizer
Word Wizard
REAL WORLD
The girls love bringing healthy snacks every Friday just like a real book club! The discussion and fun that they have together has inspired the girls to have a contagious excitement for reading :)
COLLABORATION
Check out the book clubs collaborating and discussing the story elements from their book! Collaboration is a skill that the girls will be able to use the rest of their lives. Way to make me such a proud teacher, girls!!
Morgan and Kassidy are discussing the plot of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.
Zion is the discussion director of her book club, and she is leading a discussion about the protagonist and antagonist of Bridge to Terabithia.
