10 live meetings
5 in-class hoursClass Experience
Nancy Drew is one of the most memorable detectives in literature. With her impeccable style and sharp convertible, there isn't a mystery she cannot solve! Although not set in current times, these books still capture the imagination of today's readers as they solve mysteries right along with Nancy. The format of this class will be teacher guided but student led. Students will read half of each book before class and be prepared to discuss the chapters. I greatly encourage students to share their opinions on what we have read while listening to the thoughts of others. Focus will be given to characterization, new vocabulary words, sequencing of events, compare contrast, prediction skills, figurative language, plot, and reading comprehension questions.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of characterization, new vocabulary words, sequencing of events, compare contrast, prediction skills, figurative language, plot, and reading comprehension.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! I'm Mrs. Ginny, and I am so very excited to guide your student through the world of books! In regards to my teaching experience, I taught 7th grade English for two years and 7th-12th English for six years. I currently tutor with three tutoring companies and offer private lessons at my home.
I have a M.Ed. in English Education from William Carey University, a B.A. in English with a minor in speech communications from William Carey University, and an A.A. degree from Jones College. Before leaving the public and private school system, I held an AA teaching license.
Every time I read a new book, I feel as though I have made a new friend, and I hope to help your student see reading this way. I am extremely passionate about the written word and will use this energy to foster the bookworm in your student!
On a side note- I love spending time with my family, reading aloud to my daughter, gardening, journaling, and READING!
