US Grade 3 - 6
In this class, students will read each I Survived book in the series and discuss it in class each week. This is an opportunity for your learner to not only learn about the historical events but to learn about them in a way that will help them to remember these events. Each book discusses a historical disaster and ends with how the character we meet in the story not only survives the disaster, but how they find resilience and hope in life after their tragedy. When they see each event through the eyes of a character they can identify with, history comes to life! In each class, we will complete an activity that will allow them to use the text to help them learn about the event, themselves, and how we can change the future because of the past. There are 20 books in the series and we will complete all 20 throughout the course. Students are able to begin the class at any time during the series because each book is a stand-alone book.

This helps students stay organized and also helps with students who join the class between weeks. Some classes will use other websites, such as Kahoot as a way to review the story and look at reading comprehension. In other classes, we will complete a project during class to help us understand the scientific concept or historical concept of the past. Each of these stories discusses a disaster that might be graphic for some learners. While the stories aren't graphic sometimes topics such as death, illness, and destruction are discussed in the book and can cause discomfort for some learners. Parents should review the material to ensure the stories are appropriate for their learners. At times, some of the texts may include racism or discrimination. When these topics present in the classroom, discussions will be had regarding the stereotype or discriminatory statements made in the text or in the classroom. Alternative views and views and perspective of the group of people being stereotyped or discriminated against will be discussed. Students will be given the opportunity to learn from the experience and express their opinions and viewpoints to enable them to learn from the experiences of these groups of people.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about history through rich historical fiction literature and then come to class to solidify the learning by discussing the book and completing fun activities about the history learned in each story.
