Science Fiction Book Club!

4th session

Hello and welcome to the Science Fiction Book Club!!

Throughout this series, we will read and discuss various science fiction novels and maybe even a series!

I will choose the first book. For the rest of the books, we will vote as a group from a list I created. The list will have 3-5 books to choose from!

My goal for this series is for you to learn and sharpen your ability to analyze language, character development, and most importantly, have fun!

In each session, you will be able to discuss and share opinions about the book with other learners. On some occasions, we will do a Kahoot or Gimkit trivia game!

Please come to the sessions having read the assigned pages! Also, optionally, come with some questions for discussion!

Nick's Novella Club

77th session

Welcome to my novella club! Throughout this series, we will be reading classic novellas (short novels) from some of the most influential and famous authors of all time! The goal of this series is for you to develop the skills to analyze and appreciate works of literature. Since novellas provide tons of room for higher thinking analysis, in each session we will be discussing plot, character, setting, and deeper meanings of the novella that we are reading. To make the series entertaining, there will be many occasions when you will have debates among fellow learners. And, we will even play trivia games relating to our current novella!

📝Writing Contest!!

Starts

This is going to be a super fun creative writing contest! Everyone will be able to vote on their favorite prompt that you will be writing with. This is mostly just for fun but the main judging criteria will be story, (does the story match the prompt and is it engaging) grammar and sentence structure, (not to sound like a SAT section, but the grammar needs to be accurate) and finally, originality (you can't use chatGTP for this, I hate that that is something I need to add, but you should add your own creative voice in your writing.
The time allowed to complete your writing will be three months, so you should have plenty of time to finish and refine your writing.
The winner of the contest will get a shoutout in the R&W Subworld and have their story posted in our shoutout! Second and third place winners will also get shoutouts!
The most important rule is to just have fun! This isn't a professional contest so don't stress out about making your writing "perfect". There are no perfect papers, remember that.
We will have all rules and criteria finalized by the kickoff to the contest.

Monthly Book Club📚📖

Starts

Once a month, we will get together to talk about a book that we all read. This series isn't necessarily going to be talking about the satire or antagonist's motivations. We are just here to have fun, talk about our favorite parts, maybe some parts you didn't like, anything you want! At the end of each session, we will vote on the book we all want to read for the next month's session.
