Book Eaters Anonymous: 5th Grade Book Club (Fall 2024)
Keep your ravenous reader well-fed and -read all semester with Mrs. Kristin’s 5th grade-only book club. This school year, we'll focus on a different genre each month.
At Mrs. Kristin’s book clubs, kids are taught to think critically about what they read; even the youngest book clubbers are introduced to the concepts of themes, symbols, figurative language, and voice. We don’t really care whether you liked the book or not (although it’s a far more interesting discussion if you don’t!) — we are more interested in your interpretation of the author’s words and meaning.
Each session begins with a mini-lesson about a topic on which our discussion will focus, such as genre, themes, or symbols. Then we discuss, debate, and listen to our fellow club members’ ideas and interpretations. We’ll end every session with a quick round of “What are you reading?” and book recommendations for our friends.
Book list will be provided upon purchase of class. Students are responsible for acquiring their own books. Books are not included in the cost of class.
3 sessions, 60 minutes
Fridays, 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Dates: October 4, November 8, December 13
