Do read Cindy O'Donnell-Allen's The Book Club Companion: Fostering Strategic Readers in the Secondary Classroom, Heinemann, 2006, 192 pages.
The author provides much needed guidance in the preparation and facilitation of book clubs by answering questions such as "How do I prepare students for choice in texts?" and "How do I support my students in using open-ended responses?" You will find strategies such as 1-2-3-Predict, Mind Map, and Picture This; The Punctuation Prompt, Quotation and Response, Real Book Letter and The Sticky Notes Bookmark.
This is a really great book for teachers who want to be agents of change and get students to direct and take responsibility of their own learning.
