Our next video conference book discussion meeting will be April 20 at 6:30 and 7:00pm. Students participating in this video conference should be prepared to discuss a book that they have recently read, which has been made into a movie. Try to watch the movie, as well,so that you can share with the group how well the movie follows the book. I’m planning to watch Coraline, City of Ember and Inkheart over spring break. I’ve already read all three books so I can’t wait to see how well the movies follow the books.
During our video conference, each student will have ample opportunity to post questions and comments about the book they’re sharing and the books other students are sharing during this fun, engaging and interactive learning experience! You can join in at 6:30 for chat room only or you can join us at 7:00 with your webcam and/or microphone. You can do both! I'll be fun!!
