Book Clubbing, Day 5: May 14, 2018

Focus: What does your author want you to understand better or differently, and how does the book's resolution contribute to this?

1. Warming up with three good things and individual book reviews (click HERE for ideas about star-ratings)

Click on your book club's document below, find your first name and last initial, and follow the directions. Please note that you are doing this individually (not as a group) because you may have differing opinions on your book. I am grading these since they take effort for you to do (20 points per review).

• Brain on Fire
• Dreamland
• Glock
• Hidden Figures
• It's Complicated
• Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid

Next year, I will link your reviews directly to the book list; this way, students can make informed decisions about which book they're choosing.

2. Enjoying your final day of book clubs; I will be checking on your syllabi as you discuss from home.

3. Wrapping up with your final exit tickets

HW:
1. Work hard on building the structure of your speech. Speeches will begin next Friday and continue through our finals period (click HERE for the presentation order).

2. ALL MAKE-UP WORK, REVISIONS, ETC. DUE THIS FRIDAY BY 3:00 PM.

Note: If you still have a Fences or Great Gatsby book, you need to turn it in by Tuesday. If you can't find your book, you will need to pay the fine. You will not be able to register for next year's classes until all books/fines are taken care of.
