A1: Books that are high interest to the age group of the students. #2ndaryela

MsNWarchol Nov 15 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1 we just did Lost in the Sun which I would use again & drums, girls, & dangerous pie is always a hit #2ndaryela

SpanglerMiddle Nov 15 @ 8:06 PM EST

In reply to @DonorsChoose

hcarp_cms Nov 15 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 - The House on Mango Street would be a shorter read - good for reluctant readers - and SS could relate and focus on imagery #2ndaryELA

Teachr4 Nov 15 @ 8:09 PM EST

Can you tell more about how you ran them? #2ndaryela

A2: When students connect with other readers they see that reading is universal and can be shared by people anywhere anytime. #2ndaryela

A2 Having a real audience to write for always motivates students. I imagine it would be the same with reading #2ndaryela

Hi everyone, I loved doing an online book club with my students. We called it "Book with Friends." We did it with another class. #2ndaryela

Did you do online book clubs with these texts? How'd it go? #2ndaryELA

In reply to @MsNWarchol

jshallcross01 Nov 15 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2 Ss can get new/different perspectives depending on the backgrounds of outside readers. Making connections, larger worldview #2ndaryela

Q3: How can Book Clubs help you encourage readers to diversify their reading diet? #2ndaryELA

JenniferFox13 Nov 15 @ 8:15 PM EST

Thanks! Did they respond to each other as well? Did you ever have them "meet" via #GoogleHangout or #Skype? #2ndaryELA

In reply to @JudiHolst

2peasandadog - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:15 PM EST

I choose the books because I had to buy them with my own $ - I also gave each group questions to respond to #2ndaryela

In reply to @Eatbooks4brkfst

SpanglerMiddle Nov 15 @ 8:15 PM EST

A3: A club might positively peer pressure Ss to try something new! #2ndaryela

Is @pennykittle coming to the online book club party? #2ndaryELA

In reply to @pennykittle

2peasandadog - Moderator Nov 15 @ 8:16 PM EST

A3: When teachers carefully chose novels it can help students experience genres and themes they would not normally select #2ndaryela

Teachr4 Nov 15 @ 8:16 PM EST

One time I had Ss preference books and then grouped. Other time Ss preferences other Ss and then picked books as a group. #2ndaryela

JenniferFox13 Nov 15 @ 8:16 PM EST

Did they respond to each other as well? #2ndaryELA

In reply to @2peasandadog

Teachr4 Nov 15 @ 8:16 PM EST

They are a little more brave to try a new or difficult genre when they are reading with others. #2ndaryela

Yes students replied to my questions, and then asked each other questions and replied. #2ndaryela

In reply to @JenniferFox13

JenniferFox13 Nov 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

True! They could see others enjoying something & want to see what it's all about! #2ndaryELA

In reply to @SpanglerMiddle

JenniferFox13 Nov 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

What if the Ss didn't like them even after trying something new? Do they have to stick w/it? #2ndaryELA

In reply to @2peasandadog

hcarp_cms Nov 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3 - you could have a time period (WWII & Holocaust) & select books @ varying reading levels to help group SS along w interest #2ndaryELA

jshallcross01 Nov 15 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3 Taking part is a risk. Ss may hate the book, or It may start them on a reading path they might not have found otherwise. #2ndaryela

JudiHolst Nov 15 @ 8:19 PM EST

Here a sample response. They wrote responses and comments. The other teacher and I split the grading. https://t.co/SuqTXqZtmF #2ndaryela

A4: Oh yes, digital safety taught - w/ internet hoaxes - but no discussion exp - may have to try padlet-use Edmodo already #2ndaryela

Q5: Discuss how you balance every student’s reading diet between core texts, book clubs, and independent reading. #2ndaryELA

A5: students always have an independent choice novel they are reading, and class work varies between core texts and book groups #2ndaryela
