Maryland has a children's choice book award called the
Black-Eyed Susan. Each year I offer participation in the selection process as a club to our 3rd-5th graders. The boys read from a list of 10 nominated titles. We meet at lunch time as a group every 3 weeks from November-April. At our meetings we discuss the books, play games that related to the books, etc. In the meantime the boys create blog posts about the books they are reading. In April we gather together one last time for a pizza lunch and to vote on our favorite book. The boys take the voting process very seriously. Here they are at lunch speaking for their favorite books and then voting.
