Let's look at how our Social Issues Book Clubs are going to work.
Before the meeting:
Take a minute to refresh your memory. Quickly thumb through the pages you read and retell in your head what happened. Then read over your job.
During the meeting:
Do your handshake/greeting
One person starts by summarizing the portion of the text you read since the last meeting and the others join in giving their ideas.
Next, each person does their job.
Look at the calendar to see what the next set of pages are, the next assignments, and the next meeting date.
After the meeting:
Return to your seats and get to work.
You will need this packet for the entire book club. The completed packet will be turned in for a grade at the end of this unit. Make a copy and save it in your reading folder.
Use these two rubrics to stay on task and complete the assignments appropriately.
