Intermediate Level
This ongoing book club will rotate through all of the Guardians of Ga'hoole books in order, so if your child needs more than one week to read a book, that's fine! You can jump into the lessons when it is a good time for your family. Each lesson will focus on a different literary skill that is necessary for students to become proficient, critical readers; therefore, each essential class is a stand-alone lesson. We will begin by reading the prequel first and then begin reading the books in order. Lessons will roughly follow the same format: First, the class will spend a few minutes sharing important feelings and/or events in their life since the last time the class met. This is an essential time for bonding and building trust between class members. Second, I will lead a discussion about each book's characters, setting and plot. Next, the specific literary focus will be presented. Last, each student will have a chance to speak about their own opinions regarding the book of the week. The lesson schedule and literary skill focus will be as follows: Weeks of September 8, January 26 The Rise of a Legend Character Development Weeks of September 15, February 2 The Capture Setting Development Weeks of September 22, February 9 The Journey Exposition Weeks of September 29, February 16 The Rescue Conflict Weeks of October 6, February 23 The Siege Rising Action Weeks of October 13, March 2 The Shattering Climax Weeks of October 20, March 9 The Burning Falling Action Weeks of October 27, March 16 The Hatchling Resolution Weeks of November 3, March 23 The Outcast Theme/Main Idea Weeks of November 10, March 30 The First Collier Genre Weeks of November 17, April 6 The Coming of Hoole Motif Weeks of November 24, April 13 To Be a King Symbolism Weeks of December 1, April 20 The Golden Tree Connections Weeks of December 8, April 27 The River of Wind Similes/Metaphors Weeks of January 12, May 4 Cause and Effect Weeks of January 19, May 11 The War of the Ember Verisimilitude
Learning Goals
Students will learn key literary skills while improving soft skills such as communication and active listening.
