Book Club News

Hello Fellow Book Club Members,

If you have not already done so, register to join the Book Club Web site. There are new resources there to enhance our understanding and enjoyment of To Kill a Mockingbird: vocabulary and study questions for several chapters, discussion forums for the posting of questions and comments, and Web links to sites that give information on Harper Lee, the author, mockingbirds, and chapter summaries and commentaries.

Book Club Meeting, Tuesday, October 10

The Book Club will meet from 3:20 to 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 10 in Room 208 of Teaching Building 3.

At this meeting we will decide whether to divide the group into two. One hundred students have purchased the book. If most of them show up for the meetings it will be difficult to find a large enough room and to hold discussions. Online discussions would also be too large to have a meaningful exchange.

The story will be introduced and some background information provided. We will also meet the main characters of the book.

We will deterine a day and time for the next meeting.
