Description: Students will read and discuss the award-winning book, 'The Little Prince', by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. In four sessions students will be assigned the chapter readings for each class. Then we will discuss the sections read, thinking critically exploring some literary devices. In each class the teacher will provide insight into the ideas presented and students will explore ways they can relate to the story and its ideas. A book project will be assigned in the second class and it will be due for presentation at the fourth class. Class Content: 1. A summary of the chapters read 2. Group discussion about the content and ideas 3. References to literary devices used by the author 4. Exercises to encourage critical thinking Inclusive Alternatives to Week by Week Reading: Students may read the book beforehand if they wish, but it is not required. Some students may prefer to read only a little each week. Students should review the chapters for the group discussions, even if they have already completed reading. There is an audio version of the book available through Audible. This is a good alternative for students who may have difficulty with print. Methods of Instruction: Assigned reading, group discussion, projects, questions and answers, quiz type games, and oral reading exercises.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Asbury College (University)
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Education and have taught English classes for many years. I have loved reading since I read my first chapter book at age 7. I soon discovered science fiction and fantasy and have been in love with these genres ever since. More than anything else I believe instilling a love for good literature and reading helps children develop imagination, good character, and a lifelong habit of learning. Reviews
