Mrs. Kristin’s book clubs are more like college classes than adult book clubs. She teaches kids how to think critically about what they read; even the youngest book clubbers are introduced to the concepts of themes, symbols, figurative language, and voice, all in age-appropriate language. We debate opinions and find textual evidence to support our ideas. We also read some really great books.
Now THAT’S Funny is the high school book club featuring hilarious books from the “adult” section of the library. (They do exist!) While we snort over literary slapstick and a moon made of molten cheese, we’ll also be learning how to find the deeper meaning in humor.
Book list:
When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi
A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Open to rising 9th–12th graders.
Dates: June 3, June 24, July 22; 4:30–5:30 p.m.
Students are responsible for acquiring their own books. Books are not included in the cost of class.
