Chapters 1-5 of the guide explain the program and offer teaching strategies, while Chapters 6-8 provide detailed lesson plans for several theme-based units. In addition to the guide, the Book Club Web site can be used by teachers to involve the class in book discussions with students at other schools, interact with other Book Club teachers, obtain additional novel guides, and access a variety of professional development sources.
