Book Clubbing, Day 3: May 14, 2019

Focus: What does your author want you to understand better or differently, and how does the book's resolution contribute to this?

1. Warming up with individual book reviews (click HERE for ideas about star-ratings)

Click on your book club's document below, find your first name and last initial, and follow the directions. Please note that you are doing this individually (not as a group) because you may have differing opinions on your book. I am grading these since they take effort for you to do (20 points per review).

• Brain on Fire
• The Happiness Advantage
• Moneyball
• The Blind Side
• Fast Food Nation

Next year, I will link your reviews directly to the book list; this way, students can make informed decisions about which book they're choosing.

2. Enjoying your final day of book clubs; I will be checking on your syllabi as you discuss from home.

3. Wrapping up with your final exit tickets

HW:
THURSDAY, MAY 16: Last day to submit any make-up / revised work for American Lit. I will not be accepting any course work after this date.

Note: If you still have a Fences or Great Gatsby book, you need to turn it in by THURSDAY. If you can't find your book, you will need to pay the fine. You will not be able to register for next year's classes until all books/fines are taken care of.
