US Grade 2 - 3
Intermediate Level
The Dragon Masters book series is full of diverse people, places, and dragons. Many of these fantastic places have been based on real world locations. Many of the dragons have been drawn from real world mythology. And many of the characters have been created to be an example of real world people. In this class we will explore the real world places the Dragon Masters' settings are based on and compare them with the descriptions used in the Dragon Masters' books. We will learn about geographical landmarks, ecosystems, and cultural icons. We will also learn about the cultural mythology of dragons and compare it to the Dragon Master dragons we know and love. As we explore, we will also build our own map using printable sheets that we will cut, paste, color and key to the world of the Dragon Masters. Each map sheet will encompass multiple areas of the world, so learners will end up with all of the map components even if they do not attend every meeting. Learners will need: -access to a printer -scissors -glue or clue sticks -crayons, colored pencils, or markers -a sheet of blue poster board Here is the planned timeline (please note, we will occasionally stop map building to read the latest installment in the dragon masters series) : Jan 6th - 12th: Kingdom of Emperor Song Jan 13th - 19th: Far North Lands Jan 20th - 26th: Aragon Jan 27th - Feb 2nd: Ifri Feb 3rd - 9th: Gallia Feb 10th - 16th: Lair of the Gold Dragon Feb 17th - 23rd: Land of the Spring Dragon Feb 24th - March 2nd: Land of the Time Dragon March 3rd - 9th: Land of the Sound Dragon March 10th - 16th: Land of the Stone Dragon Miss Robin is on vacation March 17th - 23rd March 24th - 30th: Island of the Lava Dragon March 31st - April 6th: Island of the Sea Dragon April 7th - 13th: Land of the Wind Dragon April 14th - 20th: Land of the Flower Dragon April 21st - 27th: Land of the Shadow Dragon April 28th - May 4th: Land of the Light Dragon May 5th - 11th: Land of the Star Dragon Land of the Crystal Dragon Land of the Ghost Dragon
