Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
If you enjoy twists on fairy tales, you will love The School for Good and Evil. This exciting story follows best friends Sophie and Agatha as they try to save the woods from a mysterious force causing all their friends to fail in their quests.

In this five-week class, learners will participate in meaningful discussions as we read the novel together. Conversation based courses are an excellent way to engage reluctant readers or help enthusiastic readers dig a little deeper. Students will need their own copy of the text to complete assigned readings before attending class. We will explore the text and its themes through discussion. Class will be conducted in a casual, conversational style with plenty of time for exploring the book.

Learning Goals

Students will sharpen their literacy skills and foster their love of reading!

Hi!  My name is Sara Gatilogo.  I graduated from Western Carolina University with a degree in Secondary English Education. I am certified in high school English, middle grades Language Arts, and special education.  I've been an educator for 6 years in a variety of settings.  

Experience:

Almost one year on Outschool and loving every minute of it! 

I am passionate about building authentic positive relationships with my students.  By modeling healthy relationships and creating a safe place for them to flourish, I hope to give my students life skills beyond the content I teach. I create safe, inviting spaces for kids to build relationships with other students, practicing the skills of empathy in the context of a caring community.  

My husband and I have two daughters and two dogs.  I love to read, bake, and knit (but not all at the same time!). I can't wait to see you in class!
