Let's Celebrate a Book this Christmas!

Join me this holiday season for some relaxed, fun, and thought-provoking book discussion of this BRAND NEW holiday book. It is my hope that these discussions will foster a love of stories and lay the foundations for future literary analysis. Learners will be encouraged to share their ideas, thoughts, and conclusions about various aspects of the book and movie in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

THE BOOK - JUNIPER'S CHRISTMAS BY EOIN COLFER
Learners should read (or listen to) the book before our first meeting. We will discuss topics in the book such as plot elements, characters, themes, the author's style, and more. I will ask everyone to share their favorite quote from the book at the end of our meeting. Quotes can be silly or serious. Sharing a favorite quote is optional but encouraged. Students can also share a favorite moment, character, or scene.

NOTE: Learners may read the book on their own, listen to an audiobook, or have a parent read the book aloud to them. All options are fantastic ways to experience the story. 

MEETING INFORMATION
During our meeting, I will facilitate a roundtable discussion and make sure everyone has a chance to share their ideas. I'll guide the students as they express their own opinions and listen to the opinions of others. Learning to support your ideas from literature is the foundation of literary analysis, so our book club will give everyone the opportunity to practice in a comfortable atmosphere.

Our meeting time will include a holiday game as well! We will play Christmas "Would You Rather" using the game sheet you will receive upon registration. 

Participants are encouraged, though not required, to dress in Christmas attire and decorate their background area in a festive way.

I can't wait to discuss this book with you!
