Happy Summer!
Welcome to Book Club.
You are going to choose what to read. Please select texts of approx. 100 pages of text. For instance, you may read 4 picture books, 2 early chapter books, or a longer novel. They should be things that were new-to-you. You may read them in any format--audio, ebook, or print.
Here on the blog, please post what you've chosen to read so that others in the course can see and share.
When you finish, post your review. It should include:
a one sentence gist that mentions the main character and main plot thrust,
a one sentence opinion as a reader-perhaps a favorite part,
and a one sentence opinion as a teacher-perhaps with a comment about teach points or the type of reader you'd rec the book to.
If you read 4 picture books, yes you do this for every book.
If you read 2 chapter books, you'll submit 2 reviews.
Feel free to comment on other people's posts, but it's not required, just encouraged.
Ex Review:
Little Red Riding Hood by Perrault. A girl in a red cloak travels alone to her grandmothers and confronts a trickster wolf. I was really surprised by the matter of fact death of the wolf that happened out of the blue. As a teacher, I would not read this to my class but kids who want to be scared and grossed out will love the slow build and gross out end.
Reminder: this course repeats in August, so feel free to play again!
