The Ultimate Book Club Bundle

Looking to start book clubs in your classroom? I've got just the bundle for you! Equip each student with their own Book Club Journal, giving them a space to plan out each reading session with their team, a place to take notes while they read, and a place to reflect on each book club meeting session!

While ever club is reading a different book, focus the reading of all of the groups with my Daily Reading Focus Question cards. Each question is a launching pad for club discussion.

End your book club unit with a culminating project. Each group will work together to put together a book trailer, attempting to convince others to read their book! They can use the template to create a PowerPoint, video, poster presentation, or any type of presentation you choose! Put those persuasive skills to the test!

Book Club Journal includes:

- A book club agreement planning page

- A book club pledge page

- A starting point (predictions before reading)

- An ending point (final summary of book)

- A "before reading" planning page (create a plan with the whole club)

- A "while reading" page, giving students a place to take notes to discuss later

- An "after reading" page, giving students a chance to evaluate the work the club completed that day
