The Social Justice Book Club is a required activity where each student will choose one book from a list of five and I will send it to them at home in the mail. The fact that students choose which book to read increases the likelihood that their reading experience will be positive. Weekly, we will dedicate online class time together for discussions and work related to the independent reading. Students will read the book, keep a dialectical journal, write a book review and publish a video book talk online.
I wonder if you can recall the magical feeling of anticipation as you turn the page of a good book? Upon completing the book club reading by November, students will synthesize their personal experience in coming of age and American identity with the Social Justice Book Club selection and the classic To Kill A Mocking Bird in a case study project. Students will write an argumentative essay referencing the historic and contemporary contexts of both novels while citing text evidence to support their claims. By the end of fall semester, each student will have a digital portfolio of writing in response to themes raised by the Social Justice Book Club reading and from discussions online and via live video class. Remember: a book in hand is worth two in the cloud.
