In this course, we will make Noel Streatfeild's Ballet Shoes come to life by discussing the characters (such as Great Uncle Matthew, Posy, Petrova, Pauline, Garnie, Nana, the boarders, etc) and main themes such as talent, hard work, ballet, friendship, competition, sacrifice, the meaning of family, and so much more! Week 1: We will learn about the author, Noel Streatfeild, and start reading Chapter 1 in class Homework: Read Chapters 1-4 Week 2: We will discuss Chapters 1-4, their last name of Fossil, and the background of the three main characters (Pauline, Petrova, and Posy). Why is Fossil their last name? Homework: Read Chapters 5-7 Week 3: We will discuss Chapters 5-7 Homework: Read Chapters 8-11 Week 4: We will discuss Chapters 8 - 11 Homework: Read Chapters 12-15 Week 5: We will discuss Chapters 12-15 Homework: Read Chapters 16-19 Week 6: We will discuss Chapters 16-19, how the book ended with Gum's return and what happened to the main characters, what we thought of the book as a whole, and if we would recommend Ballet Shoes to others. This class is a great way to learn about British literature and have a fun time meeting new friends and learning about the characters in this loved book. *Subject to change.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a British teacher who teaches many book clubs on Outschool such as Pride and Prejudice, Anne of Green Gables, A Christmas Carol, Carrie's War, and so much more. I love helping students gain a love of reading, especially through British literature, the classics, and books that make their characters come to life. I give students the space to discuss their favorite books and add new favorites to their list.Reviews
