Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
"A cursed girl escapes death and finds herself in a magical world - but is then tested beyond her wildest imagination

Morrigan Crow is cursed. Having been born on Eventide, the unluckiest day for any child to be born, she's blamed for all local misfortunes, from hailstorms to heart attacks--and, worst of all, the curse means that Morrigan is doomed to die at midnight on her eleventh birthday.

But as Morrigan awaits her fate, a strange and remarkable man named Jupiter North appears. Chased by black-smoke hounds and shadowy hunters on horseback, he whisks her away into the safety of a secret, magical city called Nevermoor.

It's then that Morrigan discovers Jupiter has chosen her to contend for a place in the city's most prestigious organization: the Wundrous Society. In order to join, she must compete in four difficult and dangerous trials against hundreds of other children, each boasting an extraordinary talent that sets them apart - an extraordinary talent that Morrigan insists she does not have. To stay in the safety of Nevermoor for good, Morrigan will need to find a way to pass the tests - or she'll have to leave the city to confront her deadly fate." (synopsis from Goodreads.com)


Nevermoor is considered to be the next Harry Potter and is a fun fantasy read for all different types of readers. In this class, students will read the book over the course of four weeks, complete a reading guide, discussion questions, and various comprehension activities to demonstrate their understanding of the book. Through reading and answering questions in the classroom, we will explore the plot, character development, themes, symbols, and other literary devices. 

Each week's lesson will include a video lesson, a reading guide, comprehension questions, and a comprehension quiz. Students can expect feedback on their answers the the comprehension questions within one week of posting the answers. 

Activities for the class will include:
A reading guide each week with comprehension questions and activities
A video lesson for each week's chapters
Comprehension questions posted in the class for students to answer
A weekly comprehension quiz

This is a self-paced class where students can work at their own pace. There will be no live meetings.
