Dear Reader

Welcome to the “pages to screen” book club. This book club is meant to be fun and exciting, but don’t forget that being a part of a book club is a big responsibility! Each week, you are expected to come prepared to discuss ideas! Bring your notebook, novel and writing utensil to EVERY meeting. Anything else that may be used during the meeting will be provided. Each week you will be responsible for reading about four chapters. You may read ahead, but please do not spoil the chapters for your peers who may not have read ahead. Each week you will also be given a list of “think about it!” questions. These are meant to have you think more about the book. This not a “school assignment”, so you don’t have to write down the answers in full sentences, but you are expected to at least think of some responses to the questions. Feel free to jot down notes or ideas related to the answers to the questions. Also, please prepare questions to ask the group that are not listed in the “think about it!” section. Write down those questions in your notebook. Also, if you come across any words that are unfamiliar to you, jot those down as well, along with the page number you found it on. Finally, feel free to take any notes or jot down any ideas in your notebook. You will have an opportunity to share them with the group during the next meeting. Most of all, I want you to have fun!

         

The four things you should keep track of in your notebook:

1.     Ideas/thoughts on the answers to the “Think about it!” questions.

2.     Questions about what happened in the assigned chapters.

3.     Unfamiliar words and the page number you found them on.

4.     Ideas/thoughts about what happened in the assigned chapters.
