Live in 1 hour! MS & HS ELA teachers, come chat. #2ndaryELA pic.twitter.com/8fTprH9tmm- Q1: Share books you’ve found that work well for discussion in Book Clubs. #2ndaryELA
- A1: Freak the Mighty #2ndaryela
- A1 The idea of online book clubs is new to me but intriguing! #2ndaryELA
- A1: Books that are high interest to the age group of the students. #2ndaryela
- A1: I've never really implemented book clubs, but I can't wait to hear everyone's ideas. Let the lurking begin! #2ndaryELA
- A1 we just did Lost in the Sun which I would use again & drums, girls, & dangerous pie is always a hit #2ndaryela
- A2: I have had great discussions using The Giver with 8th graders - more like socratic seminar than book club. #2ndaryela
- A1 I haven't had the chance to get experience in this area yet, but I'm looking to glean from everyone's ideas! #2ndaryela
- I ran online book clubs after seeing Penny Kittle speak last year. My kids enjoyed the different format. #2ndaryela
- A1 My students also love the summer of letting go & the pull of gravity #2ndaryela
- A1 - I've never done any work with book clubs, but I think that All American Boys would be engaging and relevant for many SS #2ndaryELA
- A2: Dystopian novels #2ndaryela
- @2peasandadog How do they work? #2ndaryela
- Can you tell more about how you ran them? #2ndaryela https://twitter.com/2peasandadog/status/798693817952169984 …
- A1: I sorted groups by reading level in my 2 classes, then I assigned each group a novel. Discussions took place in Google Drive #2ndaryela
- @Eatbooks4brkfst I choose the books because I had to buy them with my own $ - I also gave each group questions to respond to #2ndaryela
- @JenniferFox13 Google Doc #2ndaryela
- A1 I have done book clubs using books from @DonorsChoose. Circus Mirandus was a great discussion book for 6th grade. #2ndaryela
- A1 - The House on Mango Street would be a shorter read - good for reluctant readers - and SS could relate and focus on imagery #2ndaryELA
- Q2: What are the benefits of having students connect with readers outside of your classroom? #2ndaryELA
- A2 Having a real audience to write for always motivates students. I imagine it would be the same with reading #2ndaryela
- A2: When students connect with other readers they see that reading is universal and can be shared by people anywhere anytime. #2ndaryela
- A2 - SS who are more shy and reserved can feel empowered to speak in online formats vs face to face interactions #2ndaryELA
