Hello kindred spirits, are we ready for more Anne? Yes please! After two years of teaching near Green Gables, Anne is all grown up! She is off to further her studies and find adventure in another province, Nova Scotia. Have no fear, Green Gables in Prince Edward Island is still a special and important place in this third novel too! As we follow Anne to Redmond College, we will see Anne's horizons open up. Join me and other kindred spirits as we read "Anne of the Island", where Anne finds...
Learning Goals: -become interested and dedicated to a series of books(studies show that children who finish a series of books perform better in school and are more likely to become lifelong readers) -analyze, relate to, discuss, and ENJOY the main character Anne Shirley and her growth from the first and second novels of the series -read short paragraphs aloud and practice fluency and expression -learn to select meaningful paragraphs to read -learn about PEI and Nova Scotia, Canada -enjoy a bond with fellow readers
I am a certified teacher with over 26 years of experience in Canadian classrooms. I specialize in Middle Years English and have led hundreds of book clubs with countless students. I have truly enjoyed every minute of it. Perhaps most telling of all, I have been enthralled with Anne Shirley my whole life...so much so, that I went to Prince Edward Island and bought a farmhouse there!!
Homework Offered
-Reading of the novel is done as homework before each meeting(If the text is too hard for your child to understand, parents should feel free to read sections aloud to the child for better enjoyment of the novel.) -Learners will be required to do the following assignments prior to each meeting and be prepared to share their work verbally at book club meetings: -pick a short paragraph from the assigned chapters to read aloud to the class -describe the setting for each of the assigned chapters(where and when) -list the characters involved in the assigned chapters -A template will be provided for learners to record the above assignments for each meeting -A fun scrapbooking activity will take place during each class but students may choose to work on their scrapbook pages in between classes as much as they would like2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Assessment will be ongoing throughout each class. As we discuss the book I will be asking various questions which will determine learner comprehension and engagement. Adjustments and communication will be made when needed to ensure each learner is reaching the above learning goals.Grades Offered

Perhaps learners may also want to buy a few special embellishments or accessories at a store that sells scrapbook supplies(Michael’s, Walmart, Target, Dollar Store).
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Parents please note that there are instances in the novel of subtle racist character descriptions which were more commonplace during the time frame the book was written. It will be pointed out in class that racism in any form should never be acceptable, and will provide the opportunity for a candid discussion on how we should not tolerate subtle racism. Thank you parents for working together with me to develop these essential skills and attitudes in your children. Also, please feel free to read the book aloud to learners if the vocabulary or reading level proves too challenging, in fact this is highly encouraged. Reading aloud to your child is a wonderful experience for everyone.
Dear Outschool Friends, I can hardly wait for you to join me and your fellow learners in the excitement of learning! Allow me to introduce myself: I’m Rhonda Bryerton, The Book Club Teacher, and you can call me Mrs. B. It has been the honor of my...
