Our first graded discussion for non-fiction book clubs will take place this Thursday, June 1. Please plan to attend class this day, and be ON TIME, as you are not able to make up missed graded discussions (instead, you can write an essay about your book to earn the points you missed). Each graded discussion is worth 5 points in the "Assessments" category of your grade (which accounts for 40% of your overall grade).

Here is how the graded discussions will take place:

1. Before each graded discussion, you need to submit the materials you've prepared for your book club role. Submit those materials in the "Materials - Discussion 1" assignment in Canvas. You may not submit these materials late-- they are due BEFORE class begins on graded discussion days. (You can, however, submit the materials early.)

2. Each book club will have 10 minutes to discuss their book.

3. During the discussion, each book club member needs to participate in the discussion.

4. During the discussion, each book club member needs to fulfill their book club role.

5. Ms. Marie will be evaluating and grading each book club member during the book club discussion.

6. While a book club discusses, all other students must be completely silent. Points will be deducted from students from other groups who create noise during book club discussions.

7. While a book club discusses, all other students should be reading their books for at least 20 minutes. After those 20 minutes are up, students may work on current or missing assignments for language arts.

Please take a look at the "Graded Discussions Rubric." You will be graded according to these standards.
