Class experience
US Grade 5 - 6
Welcome to the Reading with Purpose book club! In this book club, we will meet once a week for eight weeks to discuss classic children's literature. We will read one book a week, and students will share a written reading response each time we meet and discuss the stories with their peers. Students will be encouraged to think deeper about what they read and to write their own thoughts down to share with the class. I will provide clear instructions on each week's reading response. My main goal...
Students will become more engaged and critical readers and will be able to share their opinions and thoughts with their peers confidently.
I have been running book clubs in person and online for over 10 years. I have experience working with students ages 8 and up and approach all topics in an age-appropriate way. If students need to be redirected, I will do that. I always listen to students and their opinions making them feel heard and appreciated for their thoughts.
Homework Offered
The students will need to read the books prior to each meeting and come to class prepared to discuss. In addition, one reading response is due each week and will be turned in for feedback.2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
