We will read and discuss the plot, characters, and mystery in the novel And Then There Were None.

Class Experience

Students will have assigned reading to complete prior to each class (except first class)  I will provide a syllabus during the first class that outlines the reading assignments due for each class.  I will post the homework (guided reading questions)  for students to complete prior to the next session in the Outschool classroom.  The class will be a Socratic seminar, reliant on the participation and preparation of attendees.  Students will be encouraged to share their interpretations of the...

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

-Describe major characters and plot developments
-Analyze the text for figurative language (ie. Symbolism, flashback, conflict, mood, tone, etc.)
-Explain major themes
-Verbally articulate their opinions of the novel

I have been working in the Special Education/English field for 15 years.  I have specialized in supporting struggling students’ reading, writing, and language development in the high school setting (grades 9-12).  My teaching experience has included multiple grade levels, a wide variety of student abilities, and many different teaching settings and styles.  Agatha Christie is one of my favorite authors!  I enjoy reading and discussing her mysteries!  And Then There Were None is a suspenseful novel that keeps the reader guessing!

0Students need a copy of the book: And Then There Were None
I personally use the following:  
Title:  And Then There Were None
Author:  Agatha Christie
ISBN: 0-312-97947-9

There are also audio versions.  If the student chooses an audio version, I would highly recommend that they are taking notes while listening (characters, time stamps, etc).  

I will also post weekly discussion questions.  Students may choose to write down their answers in a notebook or type them.  I will not collect them; they are for student reference only and guide discussion.  Therefore, the student may need a notebook/paper to take notes.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

A murderer uses a nursery rhyme as a framework to plan and execute the visitors' deaths, one by one, in various ways.
