READING: FANTASY BOOK CLUBS
Please continue to read the agreed upon amount of your book. We will be having our book club discussion at our class Zoom today. As always, if you feel like you would like to continue the conversation beyond our class time, connect with your group. Feel free to add to your Book Club’s Padlet page as you make new discoveries.
Be ready to discuss with your group:
- What makes your text a fantasy?
- magic?
- an epic quest?
- a magical sidekick?
- powers?
- What can you “borrow” from the author for your own fantasy writing?
- Setting?
- Character traits?
- Character relationships?
- Problem?

- Have you visited London? Do you know about the famous clock, Big Ben. Watch the video “Keeping the Time” to learn about the Victorian and modern technology which contributes to Big Ben’s accurate timekeeping. Minor weather temperatures can impact the clockwork’s metal and pendulum. Observe the bells as they toll at 118 decibels, which is almost as loud as a jet plane.

Smart fact 🙂
On this day in 2003 In Fort Worth, Texas, Annika Sörenstam became the first woman to play the PGA Tour in 58 years. WOW! 58 years of male dominated golf – that’s a lot of time to wait to recognize great female athletes. These two posts represent a small number of amazing women athletes who are inspiring young women everywhere. In 2018, Good Morning America and ESPN compiled this list of 25 Most Famous Women Athletes (at that time) and UplifterInc.com created The Definitive Guide to Female Athlete Role Models in 2020. We hope you know more than what appears here and share their stories with us!
