The book Book Club for Middle School by Raphael, Kehus, and Damphousse may be helpful to you. I don't think there is anything in it that wouldn't apply to 5th grade. Modeling what is expected with an actual group in front of the whole class would be great. Have you thought about using the "two sisters" approach to setting up expectations. Go to their website for videos that show how they do this. They usually show lower grade levels, but I am sure it could be adapted to 5th grade.
