TARGET: Book Clubs

[Betty Klein <kleibet@AVERYCOONLEY.ORG>]

I've been asked by a number of students to start a book club and would like
to know how some of you run yours.  How do you pick the books?  Do you lead
the discussion or are you just the facilitator?  How often do you meet? How
do you divide up the book reading?  Things like that.  I'm looking to do it
with 6th and 7th graders with excellent reading and "debating" skills (Haha
don't they all have those "excellent debating" skills by middle school).
Thanks.
