bookclubs and vocabulary

I found the chapter on book clubs very informative. It seemed to cover all the aspects of how to plan book clubs. I personally like the idea students having different roles in the club and having to work as a group on projects related to their reading. They seem like a good way to assess the students reading and comprehension.

I found today's lecture on vocabulary more informative, or at least I more connection to it. I think we all know the importance of using a rich vocabulary with or students. Will they listen? " Luke, warm the water". In chapter 7, I did like the graphic organizer on page 94, although I believe it could be more useful if you were using for larger context than just vocab words. I also found the research chart on pages 89-90 interesting. This chapter gave a lot interesting strategies dealing with vocabulary.
