Students learn many essential skills during each class such as: character motivation and development, static versus dynamic characters, and descriptive words.  These literary elements will not be focused upon in each class due to time constraints; however, by the end of this 14 week course, students will be able to confidently and intelligently discuss books on a deeper level.  Students will increase their word-attack skills and book-specific vocabulary skills during each class.
In addition, students will be able to identify mood, background events, physical setting, and time while focusing on the setting of each book.
Finally, learners will discuss foreshadowing as well as the plot structure of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution.

I hold a master's degree with an emphasis in reading.  I teach special education and am adept at keeping students focused and excited during online learning. 

Homework Offered
Students will be much more successful during these lessons if they have read the books prior to the club meeting; however, all students are welcome even if they have not read the book of the week.
