Book Club

Hello students! My friend and fellow teacher Virgie Mendoza and I want to try out a new kind of lesson. We are looking for a group of students who would like to read a book together and discuss it like a book club. We would start with short stories. We would meet once a week for 8 weeks on skype as a conference call.


That way you can work on your conversational skills during the meetings as well as your reading skills and comprehension. I think this could be very fun as well as educational. The short stories would be in PDF format and we would send them to you the week before we discuss that story.

The cost for the class would be $70 for the entire 8 weeks. If you are interested contact me or Virgie. Also, contact either of us if you have any ideas for what you would like to read!
