Week 7

I just finished leading a small group book club in my class. Each week I would give them a section of the book to read and things to look for and come back with to talk about the next week. I was really worried that the students would not read or they wouldn’t want to really talk but I had such the opposite turnout. They always read and they always came back with material they wanted to talk about or questions they had. And the questions were really good. They were really thinking deep about why the author did certain things. I think the students really used their comprehension skills to understand what they were reading and then make connections.

  1. The book discussion sound like a lot of fun! I bet it has been a ton of extra work, but I am sure you will reap the rewards in the long run! It must have been great to see the students so excited about something you were presenting each week!
