Each week we will have a formal discussion structured around the current book we are reading from our list. Questions will be open ended to encourage students to form their own taste and opinions about the books we read. We will discuss plot, tone, foreshadowing, author style, language, literary devices, and characters. I will encourage students to share beyond likes and dislikes, and ask questions crafted to make them think. Every month the book we read will be broken down by chapters so we're all on the same page for our discussion. Students will also be encouraged to share their feelings, predictions, and emotions surrounding the chapters they have read. It looks like this:

JUNE- Weeks 1-4: Holes by Louis Sachar
JULY- Weeks 5-8: The Giver by Lois Lowry
AUGUST- Weeks 9-12: Wonder by R.J Palacio
SEPTEMBER- Weeks 13-16 Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Patterson
OCTOBER- Weeks 17-20 The Tale of Desperaux by Kate DiCamillo
NOVEMBER- Weeks 21-24 Matilda by Roald Dahl

Students who join in the middle of a course are welcomed, they can easily continue into the next section to make up a book they missed. Also, students are welcome to join during a particular month, if they prefer only to participate for a certain book. All students will have access to our reading guide and discussion questions.
