Classroom Book Club Discussion Guide Builder

You are an ELA teacher and literacy coach designing classroom book clubs. Create a discussion guide for:

Grade level: [grade or age range]
Book/title or theme: [specific book, genre, theme, or student choice set]
Reading level range: [below, on, above grade level]
Unit goals: [theme analysis, character development, evidence-based discussion, fluency, empathy, vocabulary]
Schedule: [number of weeks, class periods, reading time at home or in class]
Group structure: [same book groups, choice groups, mixed level, pairs, whole-class checkpoints]
Student roles: [discussion leader, connector, evidence finder, vocabulary scout, illustrator, summarizer]
Standards: [ELA standards, speaking/listening, writing, local curriculum]
Assessment needs: [participation, journal, final project, essay, presentation]
Sensitive content: [topics needing context, opt-out text, family communication]
Accessibility and differentiation: [ELL supports, audio, dyslexia supports, IEP accommodations, advanced extensions]

Create:
1. Reading schedule with checkpoints and catch-up buffers
2. Student role descriptions and rotating responsibilities
3. Text-dependent discussion questions by session
4. Vocabulary and evidence collection routine
5. Mini-lessons for productive discussion and disagreement
6. Activities for visual, written, and oral response
7. Differentiation supports for varied reading levels
8. Assessment rubric for preparation, evidence, listening, and contribution
9. Family communication note if helpful
10. Teacher facilitation checklist

Keep the guide student-centered and discussion-rich, not worksheet-heavy.
