Just to give kids more choice? Do you usually do whole group novel studies? I do these and really find that they help me focus on learning points as well as incorporate content areas such as social studies. However, I am always wanting to improve learning and am very open to the pros and cons you have for whole group novel study versus small group book clubs. I would love some input :) Thanks! the art of learninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14338520903948012954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921941721176853181.post-22865165477758658302013-05-25T20:11:59.393-04:002013-05-25T20:11:59.393-04:00This is an amazing way to begin book clubs.

I will definitely use this in my classroom next year!

It is so wonderful how your kiddos are encouraging each other. What a great way to end the year.<br /><br /><a href="http://hunterteachingtales.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Hunter's Tales from Teaching</a>Bethany Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304642220863454586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6921941721176853181.post-86920886826713531442013-05-25T10:57:27.885-04:002013-05-25T10:57:27.885-04:00oh my goodness!

We just did a quick book club with very short chapter books and I had to be careful with the selection as well because of "clicky" students. Glad to hear I am not the only one.

I do literature circles/book clubs too and have them write their top 3 choices, but the "reveal" is the best! I also love "animals are characters too"! Have you read Poppy? You will love it!

I am going to look into that for next year. Isn't it amazing the effect students have on each other's reading habits -- I love to have students read together because they set more ambitious goals than I might and feel incredibly accountable to each other. (They don't want to let their friends down!) I agree that linky parties challenge me to think about my teaching in new ways. I can always count on you to share some great tips and ideas!
