Employing a delicate blend of theory and practical advice, this book shows how to engage adolescent learners with literature and help them assume increased responsibility for their own learning. Quality literature forms the foundation of the program. Students receive strategy instruction, write in response to the literature, and learn to participate in meaningful peer discussions. Carefully modeled on classroom research, the program provides specific examples and detailed lesson plans. Produced by Small Planet Communications

Book Club started over twelve years ago with the goal of creating an alternative context for reading instruction -- one that would get students excited about reading and discussing books. We began by developing the program in upper elementary classrooms. Since those early days, Book Club's combination of excellent literature, relevant writing activities, and student-led discussion groups have proven effective in classroom after classroom.
Our success with elementary students prompted us to bring Book Club to other age groups. Middle school students are ideal Book Club candidates for a variety of reasons -- they enjoy talking with their peers, they're ready and eager to grapple with abstract ideas and real-world issues, and there's a wealth of excellent adolescent fiction written just for them. "Book Club for Middle School" will help both beginning and experienced teachers implement Book Club in their middle level classrooms.
