Abstract
-
In my action research project, I will ask the following question: As a new teacher, how can I utilize book clubs for students who often have trouble reading any assigned books given out by their English Language Arts teachers? Book clubs consist of groups of 4 to 5 students who discuss what book they are reading by answering questions prepared by the teacher and any questions a student is curious about answering based off of the book they are reading. The purpose of this project is to examine the effectiveness of book clubs, and the goal is to help students discuss what they are reading with their book club groups. This goal ties to InTasc Standards #2 and #8, which will be discussed at length in this project.
So, book clubs are a classroom technique I implemented to help meet the needs of all my students. I learned how book clubs are a great way to encourage collaboration amongst students. As a new teacher, I was able to utilize book clubs in my 8th grade English Language Arts class by helping students to work together to solve difficult or subjective questions on their discussion handouts. My project focuses on the novel Animal Farm written by George Orwell.
