BookClub

**The Tauranga SSS Bookclub ** In a nutshell: someone suggests a reading, interested people collaborate to read and take part in a discussion around the reading. I guess it would go something like this:

a) Suggestions for reading material are emailed to Rocky, as you stumble across them. // Reading material could be anything from a 1-100,000 page reading through to a video-clip. All material should some-how link to our work. // //Keeping photocopying to a minimum should be considered when recommending material.//

b) A monthly list of ‘book club’ titles would then be emailed out to all book club members. Members would be invited to choose which (if any) title they would like to be involved in reading and /or viewing and discussing.

c) Groups of 4-6 people wishing to collaborate on the same title would then be formed.

d) The person who suggested the title would also be invited to suggest how it should be organised so that the value of collaboration is maximised i.e. everyone read whole reading or break reading into parts etc

e) Every month (or thereabouts) on a non-office meeting Friday, groups would meet for up to 1 hour to discuss the reading. Members would be encouraged to arrive equipped with refreshments.

f) The person who suggested the reading will be responsible for hosting the discussion

g) Summaries from ‘book-club’ meetings would be shared on the School Support Services, Virtual Book shelf (under construction). A slot may also be made available at our monthly office meetings to share “Readings” so that those who are unable to take part in the club format hear a summary of the Club’s learning for the month.
