This year we are doing historical book groups. In Social Studies we are learning about the Civil War , so that is all of the books' topics.
I'm reading Red Cap by G.Clifton Wisler. Other groups are reading NightJohn, After The Rain, and Civil War On Sunday.
Reading the books help us to make connections and are note taking. My favorite part of book groups are taking about what we are confused about.
We all love book groups thank you teachers!!!!!

Teachers love book groups too Camille! I'm glad you like talking about parts you don't understand - that is such a great way to become a better reader!

ReplyDeleteBook "clubs" are very popular with avid readers. It's a great way to get different points of view and a better understanding of the books you are reading. With historical fiction (my favorite genre) you also can get a "real life" feel for what is happening to the people beyond just dates and events. I hope you enjoy the books you are reading!
ReplyDeleteBook groups are so much fun! I am reading Red Cap and am enjoying it very much. Most of all I love to hear all the great comments and thoughtful questions from my group members. Ransom is a very inspiring character!
