Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Novel Study

Harry Potter is back for his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There's only one problem, Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban and everyone seems to think that he's coming for Harry. 

In this class we will read the third book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. If your learner has not read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, scroll down for a link to those classes! During class, we will discuss what the students read that week. Students will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and ask any questions that they have. We will also learn about a different element of literature each week, which will help students become better critical readers. We will discuss what they already know about the days topic and do a short activity to practice it.

Students will have an independent reading assignment each week consisting of 3-4 chapters of the book. They will also complete a short assignment to show that they did the the reading and understand the element of literature we discussed in class. The time required will vary depending on how fast your learner reads, but I recommend spending about half an hour a day on their reading/assignment, or 2.5 hours per week. 

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is recommended for 5th - 6th grade reading levels. If you are unsure if this class is the right level for your learner, please feel free to contact me!
