🕷️ Welcome to Book Club! You are going to learn many new vocabulary words while enjoying a wonderful story! 🕷️ 🐷 In this 1 week camp, we will be meeting for 5 days to read and discuss the book Charlotte's Web by EB White. 🐷 Learners will learn many new vocabulary words. 🐷 Learners will discuss the characters and key elements and events of the story. 🐷 Our reading time will be dependent on how long our discussion is each class. 🐷 Learners will be asked to complete the reading for homework. 🐷 Each class will include vocabulary discussion, reading aloud and comprehension questions. 🕷️Reading Schedule: 🕷️ Day 1- Chapters 1-7 Day 2- Chapters 8-14 Day 3- Chapters 15-21 Day 4- Chapters 22-27 Day 5- Book Party–Celebrate finishing the book, discuss our thoughts on the story and play games to check for comprehension. 🕷️Charlotte's Web is a classic novel that has been read in many American classrooms over the last 70 years. It is a wonderful story about a livestock pig named Wilbur and the friendship he forms with a barn spider named Charlotte. Charlotte's Web provides an excellent opportunity to teach new words to children. Learners will learn how to use context clues to figure out the meaning of a new word and listen to the characters as they discuss and use it. 🕷️ 🐷 My teaching style is laid back and fun. I like to provide an engaging, interactive atmosphere. I want all learners to feel comfortable speaking in a safe environment. 🐷 This class is appropriate for advanced learners 6-7 years old, on level learners 8-11 years old and struggling learners 12-13 years old. 🐷 Please reach out if you have any questions!
