This FLEX class covers the second book of the Geronimo Stilton series: The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid. 

On the first day of class, I will be posting the "cover page" to their reading journal. Every day, students will add to their journal by completing the posted activities. At the end of the course, students will have a completed portfolio of work. 

Students will read 2-3 chapters (10-20 pages) each day. However, please keep in mind that this is a FLEX course, so your learner can read the book at your own pace and check-in when you're ready to complete the activities.  

I will be posting reading comprehension and vocabulary activities for each day's assigned reading along with a short pre-recorded video. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we will be focusing on a reading skill, such as summarizing or inferences. On Thursdays, we will focus on a grammar skill. On Fridays, we will practice writing. 

Group discussion questions will also be utilized to promote interactions between learners and the teacher. 

This course incorporates fun learning activities to promote engagement and to get the learners excited about reading! Some examples may include crosswords, scavenger hunts, digital activities, word searches, and more!

Students do not have to read the book before the first class.
