First Guys Read EVER
Today marked the first sessions of Guys Read at CJHS, and we’re off to a great start! Small groups met both 7th and 8th hours–groups just the right size for core membership.
Here’s what we did:
- Mrs. Glatt talked about what Guys Read is (according to founder Jon Scieszka) and what it can be at CJHS
- Guys listened to stories from Guys Write for Guys Read — by authors Jack Gantos and Dan Gutman
- Mrs. Glatt shared other books by Gantos and Gutman and other short story books, too
- Guys learned about podcasting and the different jobs that need to be done to create and publish a successful podcast
- Sample podcasts: Bloomington Public Library, Radio WillowWeb
- Jobs: Host, Booktalkers, Music Selector, Sound Editor
Here’s what’s coming up:
- Guys should fill out job application forms and get them to Mrs. Glatt by Friday
- Podcast Job Application: Host

- Guys who met today will meet on Wednesday, Oct. 4 so we can dig deeper into podcasting and try out equipment
- Guys Read for the end of October is in the works–get ready for a guy guest speaker. More guys from study hall are welcome to attend.
If you’re a guy who attended, or a guy who didn’t, or not a guy at all, feel free to let us know what you think.
