Beginning 2nd Quarter each student will be participating in a small group Lit Study reflecting the current national interest in Book Clubs like Oprah’s. I will host the first Book club over Beowulf, inviting students to join me for virtual hors d’oevres and guiding them in an online discussion about the epic saga. After each class has partipated in the Book Club I have modeled, the students will break up into small groups to host our second Book Club meeting on the novel Neverwhere, a novel by Neil Gaimen. The small groups will practice the process of inviting, hosting, developing discussion questions, etc. that have been modeled in the Beowulf Book Club. After this series of meetings have been held, I will allow students to develop Book Clubs based on shared reading interests.
