Bulldog BytesJoin Ms. Johnson, Mrs. Fribley, and Mrs. Hratchian for a virtual book club! For our first book, we will be reading and discussing Knockout by K.A. Holt. This novel in verse is available with unlimited checkouts from Junior Library Guild.
Once you have clicked on Junior Library Guild, go to "Middle School Stream" and scroll down to find the book. It may take a moment for all the books to load.
Staff and parents are welcome too! Discussion Guide |
How Does This Work?Bulldog Book Bytes is a work in progress! For this first novel, we will be collecting questions and observations from participants via a Google Form. We will then take those questions and comments into account and present them (and our thoughts too) in a video. We'll publish the video, and you can watch at your leisure.
As you read, take a look at this Discussion Guide as a good place to start to think about what you may want to comment on or ask questions about! When you've wrapped up the book, go to this Google Form and let us know your thoughts! We will be posting the discussion on this book on Thursday, April 23rd, so be sure to fill out the form before then! We've pushed the date back a week! |
