The book I choose for book club is Write Like This.  This was my second choice because my first choice already had seven members in it.  I chose the book Write Like This because it is based on a pretty simple idea.   The idea is that if we want students to become good reader and writers then they need to studey good writing, and, most of all they need to imitate good writers.  In the book description it compares this proccess to learning how to play basketball.   It says you begin by first carefully observing a person who already knows how too shoot a basketball.  The better the basketball players form is, the the more the person who is observing can take from the experience.   It is the same with reading and writing.  If students have a good writer to emulate then they can became more proficient writers.
