Book Club for Middle School is your indispensible guide to implementing Book Club in the middle-level classroom. Adolescent learners have unique interests, needs, and strengths. Book Club for Middle School shows you how Book Club can address and make the best of these traits. Topics include current theories about literacy, balanced literacy curriculum, components of the Book Club program, developmental needs of adolescents, strategies for both proficient and struggling readers, authentic assessment, standards-based assessment, classroom management, scheduling options, team teaching, and grouping.
Book Club for Middle School also offers several complete thematic units with accompanying blackline masters. Each unit includes daily lesson plans that teach and reinforce comprehension, literary analysis, writing, and interpersonal skills. Students explore significant themes through reading, writing, discussing, and a variety of other activities. Reproducible "think sheets" support students' informal writing during the unit, including creating daily reading logs. Evaluation sheets provide convenient formats for evaluating students' progress, including student goal setting and self-assessment. Book Club for Middle School provides all the tools you need to engage your students in authentic literature discussions and nurture their development of crucial interpersonal skills. For additional thematic units based on excellent literature, see our line of Book Club Novel Guides.
