In this fun novel study, students will dive into the world of Matilda. Matilda is a sweet girl with great intelligence and magical powers. Her life is filled with colorful characters from her sweet teacher Miss Honey to her terrorizing principal Miss Trunchbull. This book is sure to bring laughter as we follow the adventures of Matilda. This class will be structured as follows: 

Week 1: We will introduce the novel and the author. Students will make predictions on what they think will happen in the book. We will begin to read the novel together. Students will complete reading chapters 1-5 for homework. 
Week 2: We will review chapters 1-5. We will begin worksheets on the main characters. Students will answer reading comprehension questions. They will read chapters 6-10 for homework.
Week 3: We will review chapters 6-10. We will continue to work on character analysis sheets. Students will answer reading comprehension questions. They will read chapters 11-15 for homework. 
Week 4: Students will review chapters 11-15. We will answer reading comprehension questions. Students will continue to work on character analysis and predict how the story will end. They will read chapters 16-21 for homework.
Week 5: Students will review chapters 16-21. We will do a review over the entire book using questions. Students will share their favorite part and be assigned the final project. This will be a "your choice" project where students will choose an option to complete and bring to class to share. 
Week 6: Students will share their project with the class.
