Description
Class Experience
For eight weeks, we will read a variety of highly acclaimed books across genres. I have chosen these books to get students excited and engaged with the writing, making them want to share their thoughts with others. This book club targets upper middle-grade students, bridging the gap between middle-grade and young adult, and the books reflect that by being slightly more challenging than some readers may be used to. This class is for the student who devours books, and because of this, we will...
Book clubs in middle school are a great way to teach students to form and share opinions with others which are an important skill to have as they get older. I run all book clubs so every student is able to answer questions that I pose and participate in the lively discussion. I am also aware that some students prefer to participate through chat than on a microphone. This is completely acceptable. My goal for the students is to get them to share their thoughts however they feel comfortable doing that.
I am an experienced homeschooler who has been leading book clubs for tweens and teens for over ten years. I have a love of literature that I share with my students. I am also experienced with students of all abilities and am patient and respectful towards everyone. I love nurturing a love of learning and reading in my students and feel that my enthusiasm rubs off onto my students which is a joy to see.
The students will need to read the books prior to each meeting.

Families are responsible for looking up the books before enrolling if you have any concerns about content. The books chosen for this book club are for tweens/teens and do deal with content on par with this age group, including violence, mild romance, and social issues. When My Name was Keoko has violence, racism, torture, Scythe has violence including the deaths of young people, Ender's Game has violence/language, And Then There Were None has violence, Prisoner B-3087 deals with concentration camps, and Most Dangerous tackles the Vietnam war. If you feel your student is sensitive or as a family you are cautious, please review each book to see if this class is a match for you and your student. Common Sense Media, Amazon, and GoodReads are resources that help with previewing books. If you still have additional concerns, please reach out to me prior to enrolling. Thanks.
