Book Club Kit for To Kill a Mockingbird

Here's a great new resource for teen book clubs: Book Club Classics. Kristen Galles provides kits with everything you need for your book club discussion:

  • Discussion questions - designed to provoke interesting conversation
    while leading to greats insight about the novel

  • Bookmarks with the list of characters in the order they are introduced in the book.

  • Explanation of literary terms

  • Menu ideas relating to the setting or time period of the book

  • Background about the author, historical time period, or events

  • If a movie was made of the novel, full information is included


Right now, Book Club Classics is offering a FREE book club kit for the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. I downloaded it today, and I can't wait to read this book with my daughter.


This discussion kit is much better than anything we did in Freshman English class! Kristen included ideas to set the mood for the book club meeting, including games, appetizer ideas, and conversation starters.


Literary terms are explained, including exposition, theme, irony, tone, and mood. The discussion questions are top notch, designed to pull everyone into the discussion. More teens would enjoy English class if this caliper of thought-provoking questions were standard!


The list of book kits is growing quickly. Among the dozens listed are Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, David Copperfield by Charles Dickens, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin, and A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway. Now there is no excuse for boring book discussions!


Book Club Classics takes special requests, as well. If you have a novel you'd like to discuss at your book club, Kristen will design a book kit especially for you.
