In this class, we will be discussing Mortal Engines by Philip Reeves. In a city-eat-city world, Tom wishes he could simply do his job as Apprentice Historian for the London Museum, however, when he is flung from the floating city, he finds that he must join forces with Hester, a girl who is just as unhappy about the situation they find themselves in as Tom. Can Tom and Hester find a way to survive in the barren wasteland or will their world end sooner than they thing? Join along for the adventure as we discuss this book! This class is broken down so that we will be reading (independently at home) and discussing the story as we go along. We will be talking about the different aspects of the book as well as the structure of the story, including the growth of the characters and the arc that the story takes. We will discuss character archetypes, as well as the elements of stories, including inciting incidents and turning points. Would we suggest this story to a friend? Does the author attain a goal by telling these stories? Were we scared? Would be share these tales around a campfire? Just a few of the things we will be talking about as the story unfolds! All students are asked to have their cameras on as it helps keep students engaged and encourages conversation. Please raise your hand if you are ready to comment and respect the commentary of all other students by not interrupting.
