Lesson Outline

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Begin the lesson with a brief overview of what a book club is and its purpose.
• Discuss the importance of literature analysis and how it helps deepen understanding of a text.
• Explain the focus for today's session: character development, themes, and narrative techniques.

Group Discussion (15 minutes)

• Divide the class into small groups of 4-5 students.
• Distribute discussion questions to each group, focusing on their specific books. Example questions may include:
  • Who is the protagonist, and how do they change throughout the story?
  • What are some major themes in the book? Provide examples.
  • How does the author use narrative techniques (e.g., tone, point of view) to convey messages?
• Allow groups 10 minutes to discuss the questions, encouraging each student to contribute their thoughts and insights.

Group Sharing (5 minutes)

• Reconvene as a whole class. Each group will share one main point from their discussions.
• Facilitate a brief class discussion where students can expand on each other's ideas and ask questions.

Conclusion (3 minutes)

• Summarize the key points discussed in class: the importance of character arcs, thematic depth, and narrative styles.
• Encourage students to think critically about the themes and characters as they continue reading.

Homework Assignment (2 minutes)

• Assign the following tasks:
  1. Write a paragraph (5-7 sentences) analyzing a specific character from your book. Discuss how they change throughout the story and what influences their development.
  2. Choose a theme from your book and find at least two quotes that support this theme. Write down the quotes and explain how they relate to the overall message of the book.

Homework Answers (for Teacher Reference)

   • Character: [Character Name]
   • Analysis: [Character Name] starts off as [initial traits/behaviors]. Throughout the story, they experience [describe key events that lead to change]. By the end, [character] is [changed traits/behaviors] because of [influencing factors].
