TRANSCRIPT
Our very own Book Club
Kumararani Meena Muthiah Mat Hr Sec School
No. 4, Crescent Avenue Road, Gandhi Nagar, Adyar, Chennai 600 020
Our Design
To get students more involved with the
school by creating new opportunities that
they can identify and relate with.
How it all started
Brainstorming
A gush of ideas
A inter-school football match, an intra-
school culturals, car pooling?????
All were at loggerheads
How do we make any of this work????
Inner Peace
We put each of our ideas on paper to
check how implementable it is.
But hey….Can’t we start small???
We finally found our Inner Peace and as
Master Oogway states in Kung Fu Panda
“There are NO accidents”.
So what is it that we started small????
The Answer
Shouldn't change begin within???
Thus, began our quest
Our own fellow students were our targets
What is it that we wanted to add to
ourselves apart from marks?
Fun and creativity…..
The ones that don’t hamper our studies
The Change
We wanted our own activity clubs
Communication, Literary, Health, Art &
Culture….
Could we not revive something that’s
dying????
The spirit of the book rose and spoke to
us: “Imbibe me in you and you will see a
change”
The Implementation
How many of us read anymore? Lets do a survey…
And sadly, the results weren’t too pleasing. But,
nothing to deter us from the mission.
We rampaged the library, hassled the librarian, spoke
to our principal and gained their support to start Our
very own Book Club.
We initiated the book club through a formal ceremony
with only our staff members and we, the core
members.
The Implementation
We then set out to find students who would be
interested to join the club.
We put out charts and ads for a book review
competition…
Teasers were put up on notice boards that made
students keep guessing as to what this is all
about? Yes, until now, the book club is a tightly
guarded secret.
The Results
We had around 40 entries coming in and
the good ones were shortlisted
The ones that did not make it will be
paired up with the shortlisted students
This we hope will encourage them to read
more
So, how does our club work??
Week 1 First Wednesday of every month: Collect books from the library, distribute it amongst the membersFollowing Thursday & Friday: Have 15 minutes of group book reading sessions
Week 2 & 3
Members to take their books home and finish up on reading the books and write a short synopsis on the book
Week 4 Last Wednesday of every month: Members to discuss their synopsis and collectively come up with a “Must reads list” Following Thursday: Publish the “Must reads list” on the notice boards, the current set of books to be returned to the library
The Future
As Mary Kay Ash once said:
“Enthusiasm is contagious. You can start
an epidemic.”
With this experience, we aim to start other
clubs to address other areas of interest
