Book Clubs
Taking some cues from some of the resources I have seen here, I have started some book clubs with my grade 7 students. We just started this week, but everything is going really well so far. We had our first discussions yesterday, and they were deep and meaningful, thanks to the Discussion Moves from Ryan's Playlist.
We integrate Career and Technology Studies into our core subjects here, which is why there is a focus on cooking and building and creating. Even if you don't integrate, though, this kinds of hands-on representing is something that kids LOVE and are so engaged in. And representing is one of the strands of Language Arts, so you're good to go!

Erin, thank you for sharing your evaluation rubric. I don't have publisher (I'm a mac) - is it possible to save that doc as a PDF so us Mac people can check it out? You might also copy and past this post into the adolescent lit group as they might dig it as well.
I'm thrilled you dug the discussion moves, although I must say that is a playlist "cover" - if you really liked it you should read the whole book "Discussion as a Way of Teaching" by Stephen D. Brookfield and Stephen Preskill!
Thanks again for sharing! -

Absolutely! I made a PDF and am attaching it. I made a couple of changes to the document, too, so I'm including an updated version of the publisher document as well.
I will post this to Adolescent Literature as well. - Attachments:
