Book clubs can provide a great way for secondary ELA students to engage in discussions about life and literature. When planning and implementing book clubs, teachers should take into consideration the time needed to plan the unit, the interests of their students, and how to facilitate student led discussions.

In this week’s episode, I share how to plan for your first round of book clubs and share some things I’ve learned along the way. I will share practical advice on everything from choosing the right books to facilitating successful student led discussions. I share tips on how to create a successful plan for their book clubs, manage group dynamics, and reflect on each discussion day in order to make improvements.

In this episode on how to plan book clubs, I share:

Set time aside before you introduce the unit to your class to plan your unit and gather the needed books
Choose a variety of books in different genres and styles to meet the varied interests of your students.
During discussion days, take a step back and let students lead the conversation.
Plan time after every discussion day for students to reflect on their role in the success or not of the group.
