Join us for this fun, highly energetic, and interactive book club. During this six week class, we will meet once a week to “travel” to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! You do NOT want to miss our book club discussion of this beloved bestseller! The war against Voldemort is not going well; even Muggle governments are noticing. Ron scans the obituary pages of the Daily Prophet, looking for familiar names. Dumbledore is absent from Hogwarts for long stretches of time, and the Order of the Phoenix has already suffered losses. And yet... As in all wars, life goes on. Sixth-year students learn to Apparate - and lose a few eyebrows in the process. The Weasley twins expand their business. Teenagers flirt and fight and fall in love. Classes are never straightforward, though Harry receives some extraordinary help from the mysterious Half-Blood Prince. In this multi-day class, we will meet once weekly for six weeks to dive deep into the sixth book in the series… Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling. During class time, full participation in class discussion is expected. There is grace for a shy student, of course, but students will be encouraged to dive into the discussion as they acclimate to the group. Each student will have a turn to share their thoughts and ideas. I will have questions and discussion prompts ready each week, should conversation lag. After our discussion time, we will end with a game if time permits! My book clubs are typically highly engaging, highly interactive, very lively! Chapters will be assigned to be read ahead of time, before class. There are 37 chapters in this book. The book is also available as an audiobook! All of class time will be dedicated to discussing the books, applying critical thinking, discussing characters, plot, and other literary aspects, designing a book cover, creating a house flag, etc, and ending with a fun game, all related to the book. Our last class will be a book party! Snacks are welcome and encouraged! I am creating book clubs for each book in the series! Stay tuned! Week 1- Please read chapters 1-5 BEFORE class! Week 2- Please read chapters 6-10 BEFORE class! Week 3 - Please read chapters 11-15 BEFORE class! Week 4- Please read chapters 16-20 BEFORE class! Week 5 - Please read chapters 21-25 BEFORE class! Week 6 - Please read chapters 26-30 BEFORE class! Week 7 - Please read chapters 31-37 BEFORE class!
