Reading club update- 16th December 2014

"I could never have dreamt that there were such goings-on
in the world between the covers of books,
such sandstorms and ice blasts of words...
such staggering peace, such enormous laughter,
such and so many blinding bright lights...
splashing all over the pages
in a million bits and pieces
all of which were words, words, words,
and each of which were alive forever
in its own delight and glory and oddity and light."

 

16^th December 2014 was the end of Term1 and so was the last day of the reading club for term1. Reading club had begun on a very positive note to read and discuss books in a fun environment. I am very proud to say that we did achieve that. The reading club members were provided with the right kind of atmosphere which was serious and scholarly but at the same time light and social.

Reading club activities were challenging but a rewarding venture.

 

This week we decided to become creative and extract creativity from the young adults of the reading clubs. We took a written feedback from the  students, who were a little sad  on Term1 being over so soon.

Their feedback was their expression , their feelings and sharing of their experience on the reading club.

The second activity actually set the expertise of the young reading club members flowing when they were asked to become real authors and face interviews from their own young friends who became journalists.

While we teachers decided to become sponsors of a leading Advertising Agency who would sponsor the interview to be aired on a local Television channel. It was fun.

The questionnaire was prepared and the interview was done. We could see Vadim come out as a real author and facing the journalists as a true professional, likewise Amaan faced the journalists and answered their questions with equal enthusiasm. Shenura, Zayan, Samaira, Fatima , Vania and Hannah were simply at their best as professional journalists.
