Club de lectura de ficción histórica para lectores comprometidos

Our first book is We Were the Fire: Birmingham 1963 by Shelia P. Moses. This is a very quick read making it perfect for those who sign up close to the start date. 

Join us for a fun and informal book club where we meet every other week to discuss a historical fiction book. By teaching in a conversational manner, I will foster a love for books. 

Students in the class will be asked to think about what they read, form an opinion on what they read, and then share that opinion with others. We will also have fun rating and reviewing each book and comparing them to past reads. 

Students with a wide array of previous book club experience are welcome. They only need to be open to exploring and discussing the materials and their themes.

Regarding the structure, when we meet, I will lead a round-table discussion for each book we read. For each book we read, we will discuss topics ranging from the author's intent to character and plot development. Then, we will all share our opinions with each other as we analyze the works. 

I will teach the students how to clearly express their thoughts and debate and discuss topics with their peers by facilitating the discussion. Every student in the class will have an opportunity to share their opinion.

The books we will be discussing are:

Meeting 1 - We Were the Fire: Birmingham 1963 by Shelia P. Moses

Meeting 2 - Secret Soldiers: A Novel of World War I by Keely Hutton 

Meeting 3 - Red Stars by Davide Morosinotto

Meeting 4 - Brother's Keeper By Julie Lee

Meeting 5 - Heroes: A Novel of Pearl Harbor by Alan Gratz

Meeting 6 - Mèo and Bé by Doan Phuong Nguyen

Meeting 7 -  The Bluest Sky by Christina Diaz Gonzalez

Meeting 8 - I Must Betray You by Ruta Septys

Please look up the books prior to enrolling your student to make sure the choices will be a good match for your student and your family. For brand new and future releases, Goodreads often has reviews. 

We need 5 students for this class to run. If you enroll, please share with others who also might be interested. Thank you!
