Class experience
US Grade 8 - 11
Not only is reading an essential life skill, but it can be a source of entertainment. In this course, teen students dive into exciting novels for this age group. Through completing class activities, students will practice reading comprehension skills, identifying plot events, describing characters, determining problems, defining vocabulary words, and recognizing themes in books. For each book, students will be given reading comprehension questions and vocabulary to complete while reading....
Students will improve their reading comprehension skills by answering questions and participating in discussions. Students will gain knowledge of new vocabulary words by defining unknown words and participating in discussions. Students will learn/review plot elements (exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution) by participating in discussions. Students will analyze text evidence for characterization, and theme by participating in a discussion.
