American Born Chinese Book Club

Help me give my students an independent Book Club experience on American Born Chinese in which they can learn about a culture that is different than their own through reading about a different student's perspective.

My Project

During this independent reading experience, students will volunteer to join Book Club, read a high-interest graphic novel independently, and gather for small group discussions with teachers during lunchtime. Our school has already completed one Book Club with students reading The Color Purple, and Book Club members were highly engaged and loved both the experience of reading and discussing the book in small groups, as well as traveling to the theater to watch the musical in person. This Book Club will be a similar experience, with students able to watch the new Disney live-action movie adaptation of the book on May 24.

My students need a lot of practice with independent reading, and group cultural experiences centered around popular books, like American Born Chinese, garner a lot of interest and enthusiasm.

The purchase of these resources will greatly encourage students to explore and enjoy reading on their own, as well as discussing books in a scholastic setting.
