Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
In this five week class, learners will participate in meaningful discussions as we read Neal Shusterman's The Toll. Book clubs are an excellent way to engage reluctant readers or help enthusiastic readers dig a little deeper. Students will need their own copy of the text to complete assigned readings before attending class. Please refer to the parental guidance section to be sure you are comfortable with the content before enrolling. A twelve year old who is comfortable with a few spooks should be fine! 

This class is perfect for some thought provoking fun and a great way to introduce your student to a new book series! 

Each class will be structured as a discussion where students are encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions on the assigned reading. Each lesson will also include a dramatic read-aloud of a small section from the week's text. We will discuss elements of the text such as theme, setting, character development, and more. See the reading schedule in the syllabus.

Learning Goals

Students will sharpen their literacy skills while fostering their love of reading.

Hi!  My name is Sara Gatilogo.  I graduated from Western Carolina University with a degree in Secondary English Education. I am certified in high school English, middle grades Language Arts, and special education.  I've been an educator for 6 years in a variety of settings.

Almost one year on Outschool and loving every minute of it! 

I am passionate about building authentic positive relationships with my students.  By modeling healthy relationships and creating a safe place for them to flourish, I hope to give my students life skills beyond the content I teach. I create safe, inviting spaces for kids to build relationships with other students, practicing the skills of empathy in the context of a caring community.  

My husband and I have two daughters and two dogs.  I love to read, bake, and knit (but not all at the same time!). I can't wait to see you in class!
