What's included

1 live meeting
30 mins in-class hours per week
Homework
1 hour per week. The homework challenges offered in this club are meant to serve as an additional discussion question that students will have the opportunity to brainstorm between club sessions. This allows them to show up to next week's club meeting ready to give their answer to our very first question of the day. Students can brainstorm their answers or write them down between club sessions. With that being said, the homework is optional and only meant to offer an extra bit of fun and creativity if their time allows.

If you are a magical book lover, you've come to the right place! In our club, we discuss characters from the Harry Potter series that we all know and love. Events from the books will be deeply discussed and analyzed so that students are able to understand each character's purpose and growth throughout the story. From Harry, Ron, and Hermione's blossoming friendship in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", to Albus Dumbledore's secrets revealed in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", you can bet to talk all about each character's plotline. Tough questions regarding character actions, traits, and more will be debated as we join in this weekly book discussion together.

⚡𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂: 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣! If you have not finished the Harry Potter series, you might encounter unfamiliar topics, events, and characters. We discuss knowledge from all 7 Harry Potter books in this class.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  📝𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻: ▬▬▬▬▬▬
1️⃣Start each week by sharing your thoughts on various topics from the book series. Share your views and experiences with fellow Hogwarts students. For example, you might answer the question "𝘐𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘏𝘰𝘨𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘳, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩?" 

2️⃣After this, you'll join in a 𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚 to discover who our character of the week is by filling in the blank of a quote from the series. 

3️⃣After answering the 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝘾𝙪𝙥 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 about this character and earning points for your Hogwarts house, we begin analyzing the character of the week. Chapter events and more are discussed so we are able to summarize each character's significance to the series. 

4️⃣Students are then led through a series of questions where their understanding of Harry's world deepens while they 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨.
