Read Smart: Young Adult and Teen Book Club
Taught by a published author! Each month, we'll read and discuss a different modern young adult novel. This book club blends pleasure reading and novel study-- discussion-based, but still packed with literary analysis.

5 files available upon enrollmentStudents must individually procure the book selected for each month (see the class description)-- it is not included in the cost of this course and cannot be provided digitally by the instructor. The selected books are available wherever books are sold or borrowed.
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. -The Zoom text chat is set to "host only", meaning students can chat with me, but not to one another or the entire classroom.
