Description
Class Experience
Learning goals include student improvement in understanding vocabulary in context, the actions of protagonists and antagonists, the genre of realistic fiction, conflicts and turning points leading through a critical climax and resolutions, theme development, character analysis and development as the wonderfully poignant, thoughtful, and unique characters remind us of the premise that it is rare that we ever really know the full back stories of people and all they have experienced and how much kindness, love, friendship, and wisdom each character has to offer others.
