 Interesting Read.

What is a book club?

A book club is what we do during reading. First we choose an interesting book and we work with the people who choose the same book as you. 

Then we work in a group to figure out how many pages we need to read each day. 

While reading each section we fill in our discussion tickets with figurative language,vocabulary,favorite paragraph, favorite part & discussion seed. Here is a photo of a ticket.

Finally we share the information from our tickets. Every one in the group has a job to do each day either translator,editor,illustrator or publicist. We then talk about our discussion seeds before filling in our booklet.

This week I am reading Gumdigger the author of this book is Kath beattie.

This book is about a boy called Reuben Radcliffe his father owns the store in the small township of Waipapa. When the bank forecloses on a loan Reuben and his family are forced to leave their home and move into a tent. With no money and little food Reuben has to leave school and find work. 

I am in a group with Arika and Amahri. We are reading this book for 13 days. We need to read 14.5 pages a day. 

Have you ever been in or heard of a book club?
