1. Book Club name

Imagine: You meet every week for a Book Club!

Therefore, you need a BOOK CLUB NAME

On the next LessonUP slide come up with the coolest Club name for your group.

Your club name should in some way refer to your books and/or the group members (and your personalities) 

- Write it down on one of the colored pages

Our book club name

2. 2 truths 1 lie

1. Get a piece of paper

2. Write 3 statements about your book: 2 statements that are true and 1 that is a lie

3. Read them all out to your schoolmates. 

4. Then each of the schoolmates should guess which one is a lie.

5. For each correctly guessed LIE you get 1 point.

6. Try to make it tricky for your schoolates so you can score more points!

If none guesses your LIE -> YOU get 2 points!

Take a photo of your scoreboard.

3. Think of 5 adjectives and 5 nouns that describe your book

1. Each of the members thinks of 5 adjectives (bijvoeglijke n.m.) and 5 nouns that describe their book.

Write them down on your colored paper as a mindmap

2. Look at each other's mind maps and see if there are any adjectives that more people in the group have written down

3. Take a photo of your mind map

4. Choose a theme

1. With which word/phrase could you describe each and every book of the group. What do all the books have in common?

You can choose from the list below or think of a new word/phrase  (but consult your teacher)

2. Each member finds at least 3 examples of how is that showcased in each of the books. 

For example: Find quotes or paragraphs from your book and explain why it fits the theme

Only if your answer was 'double yes' you can continue with the LessonUP

- Based on your chosen theme, look at the Book Fair check list.

- Divide the 'group work'. Indiviudal work is to be completed as homework

Book Fair Check List - prepare for short presentations based on the theme!

Prepare a short PPT and share it with the teacher before the lesson (via TEAMS)

Group work	Individually
Tell us your book club name (and shortly describe why you've chosen that name). Be creative!! (Explain how does this book club name say something about your personality). - 1 slide	Bring your own book
Describe your theme in a few sentences (if your theme is: Coming of Age - what does that mean?) What is the book trying to express with this theme in your books. - 1 slide	Talk about how the theme is showcased in your own books. Find quotes or paragraphs and analyse it. - 1 or 2 slides (per group)
Mention a few other known movies or books where we can find the same theme. Say how is that shown in that movie/book. - 1 slide	Option A: Think about how YOU as the reader relate to a character in your book (how are you similar to them? In what way? In a way of thinking? In their dynamics with their family members...?) - 1 slide per book
Conclusion: As a group advise the rest of the schoolmates which books would you recommend to your schoolmates. Why (ARGUMENTS and ANALYSIS not just: It's a nice book!! - think about the theme, the characters, the language...) - 1 slide	Option B: Think about how the year the book was set in influences the book. Create one slide where you present the importance of the setting and think how a different historic time would change the story. 1 slide per book
