National Parks Book Club: Setting & Story of Calpurnia Tate
Class experience
US Grade 5 - 6
In this month-long book club, learners will read and discuss books that are set in or near U.S. national parks. As the objective is to inspire familiarity and curiosity about our public lands, we will discuss landscape, geological, and geographical features within the settings. This book club is also valuable for those students struggling to understand the importance of setting within a novel. April's Book: "The Evolution of Calpernia Tate."

Students will use discussion prompts to go deeper into setting, plot, and characterization. They will learn more about the setting via supplemental video and photographs. They will learn how the setting impacts the story and its characters.
I am a certified teacher with a doctorate of jurisprudence and a masters of educational psychology specializing in Creativity & Cognition. Creative teaching and learning is my passion. I am a state-certified educator for all social studies topics from elementary school through high school. I have taught several A.P. social studies classes. I have also served as a science and math specialist, and I have spent many years teaching secondary English. I address all human history from a global perspective that respects all peoples' backgrounds. I have extensive and diverse experience in child advocacy, the family court system, and TBRI practices. In my spare time I run a foundation created to support veterans and educators in our community. I spent several years homeschooling my own children and working with a co-op. After 20 years as a certified educator, I am excited to lean into my own creativity and passion for our National Park System. It is my hope that I can inspire all learners to find wonder, peace, and hope through the lessons of our federal lands.
