We are starting book clubs! I'm so excited for us to find new ways to make reading a bigger part of our lives. Having a group of other classmates to share a book with makes it even better. Your book club book will become a part now, of your daily homework.
For this round of book clubs, I've chosen four titles that very closely or loosely connected to the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel that we are reading in class:

• I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai
• Waiting for Normal by Leslie Connor
• Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli
• Number the Stars by Lois Lowry

Assignments to complete at home this week:
