need to answer the questions, but have an idea in mind.

Selection Director

Pick the most interesting part to read to your group. Practice reading it. After

reading your favorite part, be ready to tell the group why it was your favorite.

Summary Director

Write a summary of the chapters you read for the book club meeting. Make sure

you have the main idea of the text in your own words. Remember to focus only on

the important details. Do not add quotes, or your opinion.

Pick a section from the chapters you read that you can make a

connection to. Draw a picture to illustrate the text, and then explain

your connection.
