Everyone needs a little Friday fun, right? On Fridays we have students meet with other students on our team during their reading block for book clubs! We'd love for kids to sit and discuss books for 30-45 minutes but they're just not quite ready for that yet... So, we have Friday fun!
This week my amazing teaching partner came up with an activity relating to theme since we've been working with themes in our novels ALL week! The kids came up with some amazing posters to help teach theme and the rich discussions they were having were fantastic! From debating words to selecting phrases... this activity is a keeper!
Our poster requirements:
- Theme in your novel
- 10 words describing the theme
- 10 pictures
- 5 phrases
- 2 quotes from the novel
Not everyone finished but these turned out UGH-mazing!
Look for a Book Club Basics post coming your way soon with more tips and tricks to help you launch and maintain successful book clubs in the classroom!
How do you keep your Friday's fun?
