Depending on your curriculum, you may want more specific genre choices, or even more independent choices! I have each genre listed with a number in front so students know how many of that genre they need to complete. Students write one book title for each box. For a book over 300 pages, students will write the title in two boxes.

Literature Club Response Log Cover
This is designed to create a tall/skinny response log using folded white-lined filler paper. I have the students write 1 "page" (which is really just a half page) each week, dividing their books into fourths, so that a novel takes 4 weeks to complete. Each piece of filler paper is enough for one novel. I aim high and put 6 - 8 pieces of filler paper in, hoping to get through that many books in Literature Clubs each year.
I fold the paper vertically, copy the covers, and staple the edges.
