Hello Book Club Members!
We had our second organizational meeting during IA in the library. The agenda for the group members in attendance included the following:
- Reviewing the brainstorming notes from our first meeting
- Discussing genre vs. a single book for our first read (we're going with genre!)
- Checking out the Westhill Book Club blog!
We have some work to do before our next meeting on Tuesday, December 21, 2010 during IA in the Library:
- Bring your favorite book to share (or a picture if you don't actually have the book)
- Be prepared to vote on a group name (see the first post on this blog)
- We'll be selecting which genre we'd like for our first read (What's your favorite?)
- Bring two questions on index cards that can be used as conversation starters for our discussions (i.e., Who was your favorite character and why?)
- Decide on our first meeting date after the New Year
We will be looking at meeting on Thursdays after the New Year so as to minimize conflicts with other club activities. We'd like for all book club members to read a book of their choice (in the genre we select) over the Christmas break so we are ready to go for our first meeting.
If you can't make the next meeting, stop in to see Mrs. Fenner in the library or myself (my office is in Guidance) to get the latest. Better yet, keep connected through our blog! Post a comment and let the group know what you're thinking (Netiquette rules apply! This is a school-related blog; ergo, proper writing, grammar, punctuation, spelling, and common courtesy is expected in all posts.)
Looking forward to our next meeting!
