If you love fantasy, adventure, and history, then come and join us each week as we discuss our favorite Magic Treehouse books! This is a discussion based class (in English). Each week, will discuss the plots, setting, and character development of each books. Learners are asked to read the stories BEFORE each class. We will discuss historical facts and how the story might be different if it included different historical moments, characters, or events. Each class will include some Youtube videos so that we can get a visual of the setting of the story. Each learner is asked several discussion questions about the story, and we all share our favorite moments and characters. Class size is kept small to ensure each learner has an opportunity to share in discussions. 2025 Dates Week of: January 6 Merlin Missions 14 A Good Night for Ghosts January 13 Merlin Missions 15 Leprechaun in Late Winter January 20 Merlin Missions 16 A Ghost Tale for Christmas Time January 27 NO CLASS February 3 Merlin Missions 17 A Crazy Day with Cobras February 10 Merlin Missions 18 Dogs in the Dead of Night February 17 Merlin Missions 29 Abe Lincoln at Last!

Learning Goals
Learners will discuss the setting of the story, the motivations of the characters, discuss alternative story lines, and learn about the history of the time period the story is set in. We will learn, in some stories, how fiction and historical fact differ.
