Book Groups

This is the last week of our Book Group discussions. Each group has been reading a novel and meeting twice a week to discuss it. Groups that have been focused and having thoughtful discussions have been able to 'unlock crackers' - in other words, bring in snacks to share while discussing their books.

 Students - for your meeting on Thursday, identify some 'critical scenes' to discuss.
