At our meeting on Thursday we talked about the books we've been reading. Or the books we've read! We have students who read so fast that they've finished 4 or 5 books besides the ones the club selected. Each of the students who read Blood and Chocolate spoke about the other books they've read--they basically gave booktalks about their other books so the other members could be knowledgeable about them as well. The Hunger Games readers are a bit slower in finishing their books, but most of them have finished and have started on the sequel. The students enjoy interacting with each other, talking about shared and independent reading. We also talked about our t-shirts--what color, what design, what everything! I picked up a sample color chart from the t-shirt screen printer and talked to him about the design. Some wanted their signatures on their shirts, some wanted sayings, some wanted yellow jackets wearing glasses with books in their hands. This week, I'll meet with each of the members and let them choose their favorite color shirt. I'll also talk to the printer to see if he can help us with a design. We won't have a meeting on October 22, but will meet the Thursday before Halloween.
