Book Club Activity: Quotes Quiz

Where was everyone? We only had about half of our usual number on Friday for our book club meeting I help run at the school. Due to language oral examinations at the school where I work, currently there are no bells going off signifying end of lessons, which meant a lot of them forgot. No worries! The smaller group enabled me to let each of the students talk for a lot longer about what they were reading and how it was going. It meant I could speak to them individually as well, whereas – due to the usual bigger group – I’m usually addressing them three at a time or so. So after a catch up and some well needed brownies, we had a little quiz.

Hopefully I’ll find a way to post the sheets and quiz online, so other people could use them if they wanted to. I know there’s somewhere to share resources on the shadowing site I’m just not sure how.

So with our small number there were two teams of four. I tried to make sure there was a few in each group who’d read a fair number of the books so they were equally matched. Basically I read out a quote, and they had to try and guess which book it came from. Both teams did well, however one just pipped the other to the post and guessed all eight correctly.

Everyone seemed in good spirits anyway. This activity took us about 15 minutes – both the quiz and the marking afterwards. But perhaps it would have taken longer if the full group had come. Not sure what I’ll try next week, but I’ll let you know how it goes!

Over and out.
