Objective: I can discuss my book club book with my group in regards to at least one of the AP Prompts and use our discussion to guide the progress of our book advertisement.
Agenda:

Entry Task: Get out your Book Club folder and sit with your Book Club Group
- Review the prompt packet and select which prompt you would like to discuss.
- As you discuss, make note of the characters, symbols, and themes that come up that will be a part of your advertisement for the book.
Exit Task: Assign roles for each member of the group. Check in on your reading schedule--are you on track? We will discuss Thousand Splendid Suns (to ch. 47) and The Kite Runner (to ch. 20) on Monday when we get back from SPRING BREAK! We finish both books the following Thursday (4/20) and Friday (4/21), so it's not a bad idea to have finished either your book club or Kite/1000 over the break, just sayin'.
