The sophomore class of Aloha High School is looking to update their book club options this year and provide titles that are more accessible, especially for struggling readers and English Language Learners.  We are looking at having about 390 of the 450 (ish) sophomores involved in these book clubs at the same time. Books will be used in small groups. Students will get to pick their books to read together, set their own reading schedule and will meet in class daily to discuss it with teacher guidance.

By giving them choice and breaking into small groups, we want to continue to encourage them to become lifelong readers themselves, perhaps engaging in book clubs as adults or at least able to find titles to engage with and read critically. 

Students will create a formal piece of writing and a group podcast (or other multimedia) assignment. We have picked dystopia as a genre study to really dive in to author’s craft elements and dissect the kinds of choices author’s make in fiction to comment on the real world and raise awareness.

Let's foster the love of reading that will stay with these students their whole lives!

The Go Warriors! Opportunity Fund has given us a head start with a $500 contribution.  Thank you!

Below is a list of the books we would like to get with the first priority being the graphic novels and the second being very new titles and ones with newer movies or series, totaling $1529.
