Book Group

Have students get into small groups at the end of class to discuss that session’s reading.

Each group member should offer an opinion on the reading with support for that opinion. One member should moderate, making sure everyone participates. If the book group is held regularly, every week, the moderator role can alternate. Moderators may choose to prepare questions or bring in supporting material, like pictures from the web related to the reading (a reading on the actress Sarah Bernhardt, for example, could be supported with pictures of her.)

 

This simulates the experience of an actual book group and leads to more connection to the reading.
