Penny Kittle and Kelly Gallagher (two of my favorite education rockstars) write in their book, 180 Days, "We know adolescents are more likely to invest in the deep thinking needed for intellectual growth when given choice". Mark Anderson notes in Learning to Choose, Choosing to Learn that "when we give choice, we both empower students and help them develop and take more responsibility for their own learning." Deep thinking, intellectual growth, empowerment, and responsibility; Aren't those the hallmarks of quality education? I am requesting several copies of a wide variety of dystopian novels for our first book club to give students choice in what they read. These books represent various authors and diverse characters through which students will hopefully find themselves. These books will be used in our Fall book clubs. Students will rank their favorites after perusing on their own and hearing me talk up these books. I will place them in groups of no more than four for their top picks. Each student will read the book independently during independent reading time, and will regularly meet in their groups to discuss their thinking. It is my hope that these book clubs foster a sense of community and belonging, rich conversations about an interesting text, deeper thinking, and accountability.
