另一個有目的的閱讀和寫作讀書俱樂部！

Welcome to Another Reading and Writing with Purpose book club! 

In this book club, we will meet eight times to discuss our books. We will read one book a week, and students will respond with a written reading response each time we meet and be ready to 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 is to have students dig deeper into analyzing a novel and connect various book elements. Topics that we will cover include:

Theme
Foreshadowing
Characters
Character Motivation
Genre
Conflict
Setting 
Narrator

Students will cover these topics during our discussion and through the weekly reading responses. There will be one reading response due every week, and students will have  a rubric to help them with this process. Reading responses will need to be a minimum of five sentences, so students should be able to write a paragraph on their own before enrollment. Students will choose their own reading response each week from a list I provide to take ownership of the process. 

The books we will be reading and discussing are:

Meeting 1 - Falling Short by Ernesto Cisneros  

Meeting 2 - The Marvellers by Dhonielle Clayton

Meeting 3 - A Night Divided by Jennifer Nielsen

Meeting 4 - The Girl in White by Lindsay Currie

Meeting 5 -  The Patron Thief of Bread by Lindsay Eagar 

Meeting 6 -  The Fort by Gordon Korman

Meeting 7 - The Ghoul of Windydown Vale by Jake Burt

Meeting 8 - Two Degrees by Alan Gratz

This class is for the student who devours books, and because of this, we will be reading one book every week and discussing the essential themes in each book. Students who enjoy sharing their thoughts with others either on the microphone or via the chat box will do well in this class. Students who do not like to participate may not enjoy this class or feel very successful with it. I expect students to discuss, engage, and pay attention during class.

Please note that my classes need at least 4 students to run due to the discussion element. If you enroll your student please consider sharing the class with others through email or social media. Thank you!
