EXTENDING BOOK CLUBS

Why Book Clubs?  To learn to read well, all students need to read thought-provoking, age-appropriate books. They also need to respond thoughtfully to books by discussing and writing what they read.  Reading directly affects student achievement.  We are Media Specialists, reading is what we do! Raphael, Taffy E., Susan Florio-Ruane, and MariAnne George. "Book Club Plus: A Conceptual Framework to Organize Literacy Instruction." Language Arts 79.2 (November 2001): Language Arts 79.2

How do I fit it in?  Make it part of your RBES.  Pick books from the past Reader Rally list since you already have multiple copies. Make a plan for the activities you want to do with the books.  When planning the activities think of alternative ways to enrich the book clubs.

How do I fit it in?  Block off time in your schedule to meet with your book club.  Pick a teacher who is flexible and easy to work with.

Students watch book trailers or listen to book talks to select their books.

Discussion Questions  Students are given 2 weeks to read the book they choose.  Students discuss both the notes they wrote as well as questions I prepare.  Students discuss the book twice. Once when they are half way through the book and again when they have finished the book.

Discussion Video

Literary Focus Activities  During some of the books we also focus on an additional literary concept in addition to the discussion questions or journal responses.  Character Traits  Setting

Journal Responses  This is in addition to the classroom discussions and is written in their reading journal.  One journal response is completed for each book. They have a choice of two journal responses. They write their responses as homework.

Journal Responses  Their journal responses counts as a grade for them for their classroom teacher.  Journal responses allow the students to think deeper about the book they read.

Edmodo Blog  They type their responses in Word and then copy and paste them into  The blog also houses surveys/polls about their books.  It has links to author videos.  It also has links to their completed projects.

Enrichment Assignments  Author Study using Glogster  Book Reviews using Animoto Still to Come  Readers Theater (rewrite a scene to act out)  Battle of the Books competition

Author Study with Glogster EDU  Cumulate reading Haddix books by doing an author study.  Provide students with a rubric, planning sheet, and checklist for what is required.  Set up accounts on Glogster. I chose the single license for $11.99 a month since I only needed 3 months access.

Glogster Presentations

Student responses to Glogster

Animoto  Highlight key moments in books with pictures, video, music, and text.  Goal is to make a book trailer to entice others to read the book.  You can register for a free educator account and then register for multiple Gmail accounts to divide up access.
