Read something awesome and tell us about it!Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 3
In this class, we will be discussing our thoughts and feeling about different books that we have read. Do you prefer stand-alones or a series? Short books or long ones? Books that have been turned into movies or the random books no one else seems to know about? Is there a common theme that you just love for a book to have or do you read a ton of different books? And what on earth should you read next?! Let's find out together! Class will consist of instructor-directed discussion. Discussion topics will include the reader's favorite moments in different stories, stories they found scary, or who their favorite characters are and why. The class will conclude with a review of our feelings and opinions as we decide what we would recommend to a friend and what we think we want to read next. All students are asked to have their cameras on as it helps keep students engaged and encourages conversation. Please raise your hand if you are ready to comment and respect the commentary of all other students by not interrupting.
