8th Grade Language Arts: New Book Clubs

This week 8th graders started their new book club groups.  This quarter the genre is dystopian books.  The books being read this quarter include Sylo, Maze Runner, House of the Scorpion, and Fahrenheit 451.  Students received their books last week and met with their group members to develop the reading schedule and set goals and ground rules for the meetings.  Each book club group will meet for eight discussion sessions throughout the month of November.  During each meeting, students discuss reading log reflections, literary elements, opinions, frustrations, interesting quotes, predictions, etc.  The concluding assessment projects will be completed in December.  Students will create a book review individually and work as a group to develop soundtrack to connect to the events in their book.
