BOOKCLUB: science in CHAPTERS 1-4 #WeLoveOurLibrary #BOOKCLUB #reading #scienceexperiment #superreaders #alqareading
#ESO3 BOOK CLUB
A book club can be a great way to both get you reading and get you together and bond with your friends and classmates with different interests. With these premises in hand, all you need is a good book, the one we were about to start reading in late September in Librarium, great food for thought. We have read four chapters so far all followed by a lively discussion. Those experiencing technical problems with Librarium are using the official Project Gutenberg web page, which offers a wide range of possibilities (reading online, downloading for e-readers, if the students own one, etc.). Progress will be updated in GOODREADS (a Reading Social Media Site) so that the students find an engaging way to record their reading progress.
Main Objectives of the online lesson, our BOOK CLUB:
- Our students will develop a sense of enjoyment while reading: READING FOR PLEASURE.
- Our students will be able to interpret dialogue from the text so that they learn how to put on someone else's shoes (development of empathy).
- Our students will work in interdisciplinary topics (science, history, geography, ethics, etc.)
- Our students will develop a fair set of language skills by reading this book:
- Reading (extensive reading, reading for gist, reading for specific purposes, etc.)
- Writing (posters design, cohesive and coherent short answers to questions posed in the bookclub)
- Speaking (RadioEdu Methodology).
- Listening (use of Audiobook for certain chapters and activities; oral instructions given by the teacher in a video, for example).
- Use of English (vocabulary work, spelling; deductive method will be used for challenging grammar tasks).
- Our students will be able to quote specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
- Our students will be able to determine the text's central ideas and themes and analyse their development.
- Our students will be able to analyse how and why individuals, events, or ideas develop and interact over the course of a text.
(It took place during the very first sessions of the BOOK CLUB)
chapter 1. The Cyclone
Dorothy lived with her Aunt and Uncle on a farm when a Cyclone flew out. WHAT IS A CYCLONE? Do you dare to mix up science and reading in an experiment? If so, create your own cyclone and tell us how you managed to do it.

USE OF ENGLISH. What would happen if you substituted the adjectives and/or adverbs in the actual fragment from the text with their opposites? How would the convection of meaning change? In Our Book Club in Classroom, find the antonyms and then complete the passage below.
“The cyclone had set the house down very gently for a cyclone in the midst of a country of 1.______________________ beauty. There were 2._________________________ patches of green sward all about, with 3.____________________ trees bearing rich and 4._____________________ fruits. Banks of gorgeous flowers were on every hand, and birds with 5.________________________ plumage sang fluttered in the trees and bushes. A little way off was a 6.___________________________ brook, rushing and sparkling along between green banks, and murmuring in a voice very 7.______________________________ to a 8.__________________ girl who had lived so long on the 9.___________________, gray prairies”.
Chapter 2. THE COUNCIL WITH THE MUNCHKINS
One last question: Where does the yellow brick path lead to?
Chapter 3: How Dorothy Saved the Scarecrow.
This is perhaps the most challenging task so far! Come on, guys, you all are super-readers, super-people!
Chapter 4: The Road Through the Forest.
Any quotes worth sharing?

By the way, Happy School Library Day 2021!
Kansas is located in the centre of the USA. I heard about Kansas in some TV shows about food but nothing more.
ReplyDeleteTheir opposites make the text still make sense.
THE OPPOSITE MEANING: “The cyclone had set the house down very gently for a cyclone in the midst of a country of 1. ordinary beauty. There were 2. ugly patches of green sward all about, with 3. undignified trees bearing rich and 4. unappetizing fruits. Banks of gorgeous flowers were on every hand, and birds with 5. dark plumage sang fluttered in the trees and bushes. A little way off was a 6. ample brook, rushing and sparkling along between green banks, and murmuring in a voice very 7. ungrateful to a 8. big girl who had lived so long on the 9. fresh, gray prairies”.
ReplyDeleteThe topic that all this variety of words (wind noises) is related to is the cyclone. The author used the words: the wind, the storm, the whirlwinds, the grayer sky… to refer to the terrible cyclone that is going to be in Dorothy's new house. So, the author is using all the terms for describing a cyclone.

ReplyDeleteKansas is a state located in the centre of the U.S.A. One of the things that caught my attention is the fact that people also call it the sunflower or wheat state because of how many of these plants are grown here. Kansas became a state in 1861 and gets its name from the river that flows through it which, at the same time, was named by the French after the word "KaNze", which means "south wind." in the Kansas language.

"I cannot understand why you should wish to leave this beautiful country and go back to the dry, gray place you call Kansas."
ReplyDeleteIt reflects the perspective of how different people see their home.
“It is such an uncomfortable feeling to know one is a fool.”
ReplyDeleteI found it very significant and that many people could identify with it.
“How queer it seems”
ReplyDeleteI like it because Alice tell us how is she feeling and I can imagine it better
My favourite part so far is the part where the Scarecrow and Dorothy were talking about Kansas, that it was a gray and dry place but still she wanted to go back and he didn't understand it at first, but then he realised that it was his home and that's because she would miss it.
ReplyDeleteChapter 4:
ReplyDelete“No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home.”
I love this quote because it is true; no matter where people are at the moment, they get homesick after a while. They will always want to come back to the place they call home.

ReplyDeleteMy favourite quote from chapter 4:
“ Brains are the only thing worth having in this world, no matter whether one is a crow or a man”
I like this one because it provides the meaning of intelligence and that you have to work hard to get it because you won't get it overnight without trying anything.
Chapter 4:
ReplyDelete“If this road goes in, it must come out,”
I've chosen this one because of its simplicity, I've found it quite funny because it just makes sense.
My favourite quote is go back to the dry and gray place you call Kansas this is my favourite because the scare dosent understand the feelin we have and the feeling we have tosamething we use or somewhere we are communly
ReplyDeleteMy favourite qoute from chapter four is: "There is no place like home", this is the most I liked because no matter how gray, dry or dreary your home is, although you move to live in a better city, with more colour or with a clear sky, you will miss your motherland.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home.”
ReplyDeleteThis was my favourite quote.
“I cannot understand why you should wish to leave this beautiful country and go back to the dry, gray place you call Kansas.”
ReplyDeleteThis was muy favourite quote.
This was muy faourite quite.
According to this chapter, the yellow brick path lead to the City of Emeralds. Metaphorically speaking means the path of the search and the transformation.
