I held the first meeting for both 7th and 8th grade this past week. The students are really interested and ready to read.
I put out books that I had multiple copies of , and let the students select what they wanted to read.
My 7th grades all boys. They selected to read Chains. ( I love this book) So they are up and running. The 8th graders will be reading The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian( Alexie)
Seventh graders will meeting after school. Eight grades during their lunch.
We are required by administration to take attendance and minutes which we hand in.We set a date for the next meeting which was good. So now I can prepare a mini poster with dates on it to hang around the school. Last year I never thought to schedule the next meeting so I feel super organized.
I will still announce each month when the book club is over morning announcements. Usually I start announcements about three days ahead of time.
Does anyone else do Middle School book clubs? I would love to hear from you!
