Book discussion groups for teachers on both campuses have started recently, with the aim of exploring young adult and children's literature.
On Dover a group meets Wednesday lunchtimes in the Middle School building to look at different kinds of YA (young adult) literature. Next week (May 8th) the focus will be on Mysteries/Thrillers. In the previous session, we discussed "decent tear-jerkers." Contact Angie Erickson (ane@uwcsea.edu.sg) for more information.
On East a group meets every Wednesday before school in the Think Tank for booktalks over coffee and croissants, alternately focusing on upper primary and middle school students. Next week (May 8th) we will each share some of our favorite books or recent reads suitable for Grades 6-8. Check out this list of books for Grades 3-5 people booktalked on April 24. Contact Katie Day (kda@uwcsea.edu.sg) for more information.
See our joint GoodReads Group: UWCSEA English/Literacy Teachers & Texts -- where meeting dates/times and booklists can be found.
