 * Title: ||< Book Clubs ||
 * Subject: ||< Reading & Responding to Literature ||
 * Grade: ||< Third Grade ||
 * Time Frame: ||< 4-6 weeks ||
 * Summary: ||< Students will conduct book club meetings as a small group without the presence of a teacher. They will read pre-determined amounts of text and complete "role sheets" for the reading that they have done. When they are ready to meet as a group, they will record their meeting in GarageBand. During their meetings, they will focus on taking turns and actively participating in a conversation about a book that encourages them to comprehend the text on a deeper level. ||
 * Tasks: ||< 1) Prior to introducing the element of GarageBand to the students, make sure students are comfortable completing the role sheets. I usually work on these role sheets in isolation for picture books and then I use all of the role sheets and conduct a book club as a group where I facilitate the discussion. Gradually, I take a step back so students are the facilitators.
