Part 2, Here We Come!

A sign of definite intelligence - The Vox Book Club (The Spokesman-Review)

So. The Official VOX Book Club has officially concluded discussion of Part 1 of The Book Thief. .....officially.

The assigned reading and discussion have both been moving along quite well; - Therefore we've got a proposition for you!

Many of you are ahem..."advanced" in your reading. (You know it's true, you awesome book-nerds!) So the idea of discussing full 'Parts' of the book, rather than chapters, was put on the table. (Thanks, Rae! :D) We think we'll give it a try, test the waters, maybe move through the book a bit faster.

So...Coming this Tuesday, January 6!: Discussion of ALL of Part 2 - The Shoulder Shrug.

Like this schedule better? Any other ideas about assignments or discussion posts? Comment up!

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
