Join us for our Smart Block Book Club!

We'll discuss a different book every few weeks, you name it, we'll read it!

Complete this form to be on our email list or to ADD NEW BOOKS to discuss. 

For our student-led book club to be the best it can be, take the time to plan a full 30 minutes of activity with the readers. You could print out this agenda, use the white board, or make a slideshow to run on the Promethean Board.

Here are is a sample agenda:

9:23 - Welcome 

• Remind everyone of the next few books on the website list to be ready to discuss.

• Introduce yourself 

• Tell us some favorite things you love about the books and series and why you chose this book to lead!

9:25-9:35 - Have 3-5 really good and deep discussion questions.

1. • Depending on the number of students, discussions could be everyone who comes, if we're less than 10, or could be at tables so 4 are discussing together.

   • You can find good questions on the authors or publishers websites.

   • An example might be not just "Who is your favorite character?" but "Which character do you identify with the most and why?" 

   • Keep the discussion going, don't go off on too many tangents or side conversations!

9:35-9:52 - Do an activity that is fun and related to the books.

1. • Arts and Crafts - make bookmarks or origami related to the book

   • Make a display to promote this book in the library

   • Role Play

   • Read Aloud of a favorite scene while Characters act it out

   • Read Fan Fiction you have written

   • Make a trivia game
