October Update and November Literary Journey

By dlancaster

For October’s meeting…

Radical Readers will meet on Tuesday, 10-23 at Cubbies from 4-6.  Mrs. Lancaster has a new teacher/mentor meeting after school, and 4 is as soon as she can make it to Cubbies.  Some members have dance conflicts.  Please plan to participate for as long as you can like 4-4:45.  I am sure Mr. DA will not mind you arriving prior to 4 to get your food and enjoy some snacks prior to our literary discussions of The Boy Who Dared, Cracker, Magyk, and The Sea of Trolls.  The 4-6 time allows some of our sports members to participate following their practice and will not prevent those trying out for drums to miss out.  If you can stay the entire 2 hours, great, however, it is not expected for you to participate in both sessions.  Join us as your schedule allows.  We will dish about the four books in table discussion format!  See you there! 

November’s Literary Journey

This month is about film review and book comparisons.  By popular demand, we selected Twilight.  The film will be released 11-21.  However, it is PG13, and we will have an alternative.  If you would like to read both books and watch both films…go for it.

Our alternative book will be City of Ember.  It was released on 10-10-08.  We will look for it in local theatres. For a City of Ember trailer, click on the link

If you need to obtain copies of the books, visit Mrs. Lancaster in Rm 27.  I will order by 10-31, so we can get our books in a timely manner.

    Mrs. Lancaster,
    I have to go to Tae-Kwon-Do at 5:15 or 5:30 so I can stay at the book club meeting until 5:00. So will we see both movies or only one? :)
