What is a book club?

A book club is a place where you can share your thoughts, feelings, and opinions on a book with your peers.

All individuals in a book club are currently reading the same book at the same time.

What will we do in the book clubs?

Each student will be given a role, which will change each week.

In your book club you will be given questions which you will answer with your peers.

Each of you will answer the question, then you will discuss your different answers.
