Class experience
US Grade 3 - 6
Use coupon code MORRELLELEVATOR5 for $5 off. An elevator that goes every which way, a phone call with the President of the USA, and Grandma who ages frontward and backward? Those are now the adventures Charlie has with Mr. Wonka in the novel by Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Roald Dahl is one of my favorite childhood authors and I own almost all of his books. I have loved reading through all of them with my own two elementary-aged children and I am excited to share that...
Students will be able to summarize Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. Students will be able to analyze characters, plot development, themes, and more. Students will be able to made text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world connections.
I am a certified ELA teacher in the United States and taught 7th-9th graders at a public charter school for 2 years. I have also taught an ongoing class on Roald Dahl's shorter children's stories since the beginning of summer 2022. I also have two children of my own (ages 8 and 5) whom I have read all these novels to them.
Homework Offered
Students will be expected to read every night following the reading schedule. Students should also finish each in-class assignment if they have not during class (especially if the parent wants the class graded).1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Each class, I will check for comprehension. This will be based off participation as well as individual answers given during questions that students can answer privately. If you would like me to grade a student's work and progress and provide a letter of achievement after the course finishes, please let me know as soon as possible. As a certified teacher, I know many parents appreciate this for their state homeschool/charter school requirements.Grades Offered
Students will need their own copies of Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator by Roald Dahl (these can be found at local libraries or local bookstores, or even online). Students may need to print out a worksheet before class - specific materials for each class will be posted a few days before class begins.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
We will be utilizing NearPod, however, students do *NOT* need an account to participate. Roald Dahl is a notable and world-famous children's author. His works are all complete fiction. But, he does tend to use hyperbole and exaggerations a lot. If your learner is sensitive about more tense aspects in the novel, please let me know ahead of time. However, these books were specifically created for children in this age range, and I have read the books numerous times. I've read all of these novels out loud to my own two children (currently 8 & 5) and they both have seen the movie interpretations. In Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, in chapter 4, Roald Dahl uses some racist stereotyping of the pronunciation of Chinese names and how some in China might pronounce English words during a scene between the President of the USA and the Chinese Premier. This is incorrect and racist profiling. It is not a necessary part of the plot. We will not be bringing attention to it during class. If you have any major issues or concerns with this short scene, please let me know. Or feel free to contact Outschool Support.
Students will need their own copies of the Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator (these can be found at local libraries or local bookstores, or even online).
