Dressing Up for Book Clubbing: September 25, 2019

Focus: How do we set ourselves up for successful Transcendental book clubs?

Please have your book club books and signed green letters on your desks.

1. Warming up with a 10-minute read to establish your reading rate for book clubs

2. Offering you an overview of book clubs: Your freedoms and responsibilities

• Click HERE for a sample book club syllabus.

3. Setting your own schedules

• Fill out the bookmark: Which reading will be due which days? Who will be in charge of the syllabus each day? Please write this on your bookmark AND in your calendars.

• Create a shared folder called "_________ (title) Book Club Folder." It should be shared with each member of your group and placed inside your Transcendentalism folder. ALL SYLLABI AND CLASSWORK must be placed inside this folder.

HW:
1. Bring your independent reading books to class Thursday and Friday.

2. For FRIDAY: Independent books must be 100% finished before you walk into class. If you haven't been committing to the weekly hour of reading for the past five weeks, you will need to use this week to make up for it. 

3. For MONDAY, SEP 30: ALL MAKE-UP / REVISED WORK FROM THE FIRST 6 WEEKS IS DUE. This includes letters, personal essay submissions, and all four independent reading thought logs.
