All the books chosen for this class are widely considered suitable for middle school students. However, it's crucial for adults to take into account the unique reading capabilities, emotional maturity, and socio-emotional requirements of their specific learner before enrolling them in this book club. It's worth noting that some of the selected books delve into complex topics including bullying, survival scenarios, themes of sexuality, and some of the more somber episodes of history. Parents and guardians should be aware of these elements to ensure a positive and enriching reading experience for their child.

Below are my general classroom rules and policies. These will also be explained to students when we begin class!
-For everyone's safety, and to ensure an engaging and social experience, students are required to have working microphones and video for the entirety of this class, positioned such that we can both hear and see them.
-Students are asked not to use filters or virtual backgrounds-- though if there is an important reason to use a virtual background, please just let me know ahead of time that your student will be using one (no questions asked!).
-Students will be asked to introduce themselves by sharing their name, pronoun, and a favorite book.
