Class experience
US Grade 5 - 7
Students will participate in a flexible course where we study "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl. During the first six weeks, students will read and analyze the reading to show their understanding and comprehension of the material. Dahl's novel is full of important symbolism. While it is a short novel with a Lexile level of the novel is 810L (ranging from fifth grade to ninth grade), the level of analysis that accompanies the reading is better suited to the high middle school...
Students will be able to identify symbolism and other literary elements within the novel to use for analysis in discussions and in written responses. Students will be able to analyze the meaning of hidden messages through the literary elements that the author includes in the novel. Students will be able to use their own analyses and discussions to analyze a film as a separate but similar literary piece as the written novel that they have already read. Students will be able to compose an essay comparing and contrasting a film based on a novel.
I have taught several variations of film to novel comparisons throughout my professional teaching career including "The Crucible", "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Romeo and Juliet", "The Odyssey" and "O' Brother Where Art Thou?", and more.
Homework Offered
Each week, students will have reading assignments and analysis assignments to complete. The classroom will have links to all assignments and sets of notes if students are struggling with literary elements, techniques, or concepts. Discussions will take place on the classroom board whereas assignments will be sent with attached links to the teacher to return with feedback and commentary.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

Students will need:
A copy of the novel
- Here is a link to the Barnes and Noble copy of the novel that I am using. You do not have to use it as the chapters are named and therefore any version of the novel can be used, but using the same one as me does make things a little easier when referencing pages in the novel!
