Grades Offered
Students and parents are responsible for acquiring their own books and obtaining access to any films we may watch. Students will need a variety of artistic supplies for each project. Specific supplies will vary per student and are at parent discretion.
All required books and films in this course are generally approved for ages 8-12; however, individual sensibilities may vary and parents are always advised to preview materials. Books and films will be discussed through literary analysis and not the allegory.
Please see sources for each month under the class description. Specific sources vary month to month and may also vary by students. For example, some students may choose to read the original novel, others may choose an audiobook, some may choose an abridged novel, and others may choose to watch a film version. In addition, many months will allow students multiple options to choose from.
