Book Clubs: Reading for Fun.
Gardner, Traci
The reading program described in this lesson plan outlines a "just for fun" book club that was a student-organized, student-driven reading experience that built community in the classroom and encouraged students to read independently, taking responsibility for their literacy learning. During 5 to 15 minute lessons every other day, students will: establish community rules for group formation and interaction; choose what to read and establish their own schedule for reading and discussing books, thus taking responsibility for their own literacy learning; and read for the sheer joy of it, learning to value one another as readers and learners. The instructional plan, lists of web and conventional resources, student assessment/reflection activities, and a list of National Council of Teachers of English/International Reading Association (NCTE/IRA) Standards addressed in the lesson are included. A favorite books file is attached. (PM)
