Book Club Strategies

WHAT ARE BOOK CLUB STRATEGIES AND HOW DO WE USE THEM?

1. Readers stop after a chapter or section of text and tell the important parts of the last chapter while the writer records them so they aren't forgotten. They could post some of the difficult words they have encountered. (Wordsmiths)

2. Readers stop after each chapter or section and tell how that part fits in with what they've already read. Is there anything that implies a theme? What is it?(Historians)

3.Readers keep track of the characters in the text by naming each character, telling their relationship to the other characters in the story?(Character Hunters)

4. Readers stop after a big event in the text and explain what pressures the character is facing from other characters or from society. Try to form a theory about how these pressures are influencing their actions, thoughts and words. (Deep Thinkers)
