Summary:
I created a schedule for an extra curricular book club group. Because book clubs are based around the idea of student choice and reading for please, I decided that an actual book club could help emphasize that discussions about books could be fun and educational all at once. I included popular trade books on the schedule such as "The BFG", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Holes" so that the students would be engaged in the club. I also included showings of the movies based off of the books that were read to make the club more appealing to students. I believe that it is always good to watch a movie that is make after a book after you read the book. In this fictional club, refreshments are provided and the club takes place in a laid back setting.
The creation of this genre piece really got me thinking about how realistic these clubs could be. I can see myself starting up a book club similar to this and having students really enjoy it. If you make reading fun and pleasurable at an early age, children will be more likely to be readers for life. It also helps that this club does not have the stigma of a grade like the club could in the classroom setting.
