​Objective:  I can select a book based on my own preferences and join a group of at least 3 people with whom to share my ideas, and create a visual product to advertise for the book.
Agenda:

• Entry Task:  Take a walk around the room and look at the Course Hero guides and books presented--you are NOT making a decision right now, just perusing.  
• Sit down with a group of 3--this is NOT necessarily your book club and get out your My Essential Literatures 
• Go over the directions for the Book Tasting
• Review our definition of Literary Merit and copy the most meaningful part onto your Book Tasting
• With the packet of prompts provided, follow the directions to complete your Book Tasting
• Go to your choice of book
  • Discuss with the others there why you would like to read this book.  Be prepared to share out to the class why you want to read this book.  
  • At this point, you may move if you change your mind to read a different book.  We must have groups of at least 3 (in case a group member is absent or not keeping up with reading); if this works out in your group, awesome, if not reconsider your choices or try to convince others to join you.  
  • Your choice should be based on your preferred reading, not your preferred group members—this is about expanding your perspective. 
• In your Book Club, review the rubric for the project and determine whether you want to do a project together or individually.  ​​ 
• Exit Task:  Determine your reading for each week and get your book! Receive My Essential Literature and research author, time period, etc. keep plan in folder
