Today is Monday, January 24, 2011. Last week two rotations sat down after a TRIBES activity and wrote out these ideas for what we need for a great book club. I'm going to mention this a few times so everyone understands this: I DID NOT SAY ANY OF THESE!!! I want you all to understand that these anchor charts were created by 5th graders. Your teachers had nothing to do with it. This tells me that you all know how to treat each other in a group. This tells me that all of you, as 5th grade readers, know what it will take to make our BOOK CLUBS successful.
Today in your groups you will be setting up your own good habits and ground rules. You have four jobs to put in writing. First, you need to talk about and write down 4 rules/agreements your book club will have to follow (BIG PAPER). Second, each group will have to decide what would be appropriate action if a member isn't following a particular guideline (BIG PAPER). How do you get someone to change their behavior? What will you ask people to change if they aren't contributing what the group needs? Third, post your 4 rules/agreements on the blog for me to approve. Each group will also have to post the actions steps for a member that does not follow the guidelines. And finally, respond to another group's agreements. Give one other book club in the class your thoughts on the rules/agreements they came up with.
1. Make the agreements.
2. Make the consequences for poor choices.
3. Post on the blog. (Include your book club names.)
4. Respond to another book club.
Have fun with your groups. You will be with them for the next few weeks.
Sincerely,
C
P.S. Take your time. Do your best and forget the rest!

You had a very good list of ideas and consequences. We liked how you said not to read ahead. Because if you read ahead you won't be able to discuss what you read with your club.
