| Students have been reading a lot of nonfiction books about a topic that they chose. While reading independently, they have been stopping to jot their thoughts. Sometimes they write on a Post It note and sometimes they write in their Reading Journal. |
 |
| Students take notes to prepare for the discussion they will have with their book club. |
 |
| Students do a lot of reading, but even more thinking. They spend time asking themselves, "Does this make sense?" |
 |
| Once students have identified important information and are ready to share specific parts of their book, they get together to talk. |
 |
| In book clubs, students take turns talking and look at the speaker. |
 |
| Nonfiction readers read closely to find the main idea. They talk about tricky parts, continue to ask questions, and compare what they've learned. |
