Last time, we didn’t finish discussing Between Shades of Gray. In your book club groups, using BSG as a starting point, discuss ways to might use YA novels as the main texts for a Holocaust (or “literature of the Holocaust”) unit or as supplemental texts.

What might you do with a novel other than “study” it?
Reader’s theater: Read aloud several key passages to illustrate for us some key idea (or even mood) from the novel(s).
Multi-media: Compose and display/perform a presentation based on the novel(s), using words, images, and/or sounds to show us a key idea or theme.
Multi-genre: Using on your novels as evidence, write a multi-genre paper (to be displayed in class) that contributes to our understanding of the event or time period we are studying.
Poetry: Take several key scenes or events from your novel(s) and turn each into a poem, so the collection of poems tells us something about the novels.
Music: Create and play a soundtrack for your novel, and explain the reason for including each musical selection.
Meet here or elsewhere. Report back in 35 minutes. (30 – work; 5 – break)

Feb 21 & 28: Discussion 2

Looking ahead:We’ll discuss Kizzy Ann Stamps (and, I hope, some other books relevant to the Civil Rights era) on March 28, so you can focus on your book club projects between now and then.
For next week:
If you haven’t yet come up with at least a topic for your formal paper, do so; we’ll describe the topics in class.
Begin working on Book Club Project #1.
Continue reading widely.
