Book Groups

Book Groups- I am excited to have started working with the 6/7 class book groups. We are starting a project where the students get to read a book, on their own, of their choice. The catch is that it must be one that fewer than two others in class have read. They are doing well choosing books that fit this criterion. We will continue meeting together twice a week to discuss different writing styles used by the various authors, and discuss qualities that make a story interesting.
This project will add new books to the student’s possible book group selection in the future, and peak interest in different types of books than there may have been before. I am making efforts to find copies of the books that were chosen. I am grateful for any efforts to help with this process.

Students who were only a couple of weeks shy of finishing their books in their group will be finishing them as usual, then starting the project. This will stagger them and make presentations easier.
