Silent Reading Rules You must be silently reading your book the ENTIRE period. (Yes, you are expected to read your book for a whole 47 minutes!) You should be working on the Book Club Prep Work sheet as you are reading. You may sit anywhere in the classroom as long as you are not touching anyone else.

Group Norms 1. Introduce yourselves! This will be your book club group for the next 3 weeks so it’s important that you get to know each other. 2. Elect a facilitator and a scribe. The facilitator will lead the discussion today, but a facilitator will be elected each week. The scribe will write down the group’s answers to the discussion questions provided on this sheet and will also rotate. 3. The following three “norms” are expected to be followed as part of a successful book club. Have the newly elected facilitator read the rules out loud to the other members of the group. Create a fourth rule that your group has decided to follow that will make your group run more smoothly or make your group more fun. a.) Only one person talks at a time – No interrupting! b.) You can read ahead, but you can’t “talk ahead” of the assigned chapters c.) We don’t always have to agree, but we will treat each other with respect d.) ***your choice***

Discussion ?s 1. What do you think so far about the main character? Can you relate to him or her? How has this character, already in the first 1/3 of the book, changed? 2. Would you want to live in a setting/society like this one? Why or why not? 3. Discuss the basic plot points of your novel so far, as well as character development. What has been happening? Who do you like or not like in the book? Where do you think the book is headed? (No spoilers if you have read ahead!) 4. What are some of the themes you are seeing so far in the novel? 5. Provide a list of any of the other topics that you discussed today in your group. Ask each other questions, talk about specific passages, discuss things you didn’t understand, etc.
