In this week's session for teachers, we are looking specifically at reading to write and various activities to support students in both reading activly and independently.

Guaranteed to make you crack a curious smile, Lorrie Moore’s wryly bizarre ‘How to Become a Writer’ is our story for this week. See you there!

Okay guys it’s time to get our freaky Halloween reading on with Shirley Jackson’s perfectly horrifying masterpiece ‘The Lottery’. We will also plunge a bit further into darkness and despair with the bonus poem, ‘Halloween in a Suburb,’ by the horror legend H.P. Lovecraft.

We’ll cover all things reading. We’ll go over lots of helpful (and free!) resources for you to practice reading in English, strategies to improve your reading comprehension, question types for the reading section, as well as increasing your reading speed. 

With her New York-centric essays, Sloane Crosley takes a magnifying glass to modernity. Parsing the nuances, trends, and perceptions of Big City life she offers up some cleverly hilarious insights about the way we live now.

In our essay for this week, ‘Once More to the Lake’, the great E.B. White takes us a nostalgic visit to a lake in Maine with his son in which he experiences a complex mix of emotions.

We’re headed for the high seas this week with the late, great genius David Foster Wallace! In ‘Shipping Out’ (1996), his brilliant, hilarious, challenging essay, Wallace gives us a granular, inside take on the purported pleasures of a Seven-Night Caribbean Cruise.

‘Mother’ from Sherwood Anderson’s acclaimed collection ‘Winesburg, Ohio’ is our story for this week. Ranked 24th of the Best 100 English-language novels of the 20th Century by Modern Library, ‘Winesburg, Ohio’ offers us an indelible, incisive portrait of small-town life in the pre-industrial United States.

‘A Perfect Day for Bananafish’ (1948), by J.D. Salinger is our story for this week. Written when he was just twenty-eight years old, this story launched Salinger into the upper echelon of literary New York, a coveted perch from which he would enigmatically step away shortly thereafter. 

Special event! We have a live human author coming to read his work at our little club! Yes, for our 11th session, American novelist Keith Scribner will be joining us and reading from his novel ‘The Oregon Experiment’.
