In the past couple of weeks we have looked at various stories/videos/articles dealing with RESILIENCY. Now let's link this all together! Here are some ideas to consider for this week's book club:
What is resilience? Is there a character in your novel who displays resilience? Give examples from the novel.
- What is the theme in your novel? Why did you pick this theme - support evidence from the novel.
Text to text/Text to media: What other books/movies have you seen or read where the main character displayed resilience?
What text to self connections can you make with your main character? When have you displayed resilience?
- Using the Q-Chart as your guide to higher level thinking questions, create 2 questions for your group. Prepare your answers, but share them only after each member has had a chance to answer the question.

Reading Strategy: Questioning! We have been learning about the importance of questioning. Effective readers ask questions all the time when they are reading. Asking questions helps you to understand what is happening in the text.
In class, we have been using a “Q Chart”. This is a grid containing various question starters. By using these question starters, we have identified which types of questions would be hand-type questions (a question that you can find the answer to right on a page in the text) or a higher level thinking question, or a brain-type of question. These types of questions require a reader to use information that they find in the text AND their own ideas to develop an effective answer.
Below is a copy of the Q chart. When you are reading, what are some questions that you can develop about your book?
