In this one-time thirty-minute class, students will learn and practice identifying:
character traits, character analysis, finding facts from the text, making predictions, text to self connections, analyzing problems & finding solutions and giving their opinion. Students will be given opportunity to share their favorite character and/or part of the story. This class is designed to be fun, lively and move through the storyline touching at a basic level on story elements. Handouts allow parents to reinforce material and concepts after class or even before if this helps prepare your student for class discussion. 

The parent/student is provided with after-class activities they can do own their own to further their understanding and practice such as; vocabulary word search, vocabulary activities and have fun designing a valentine activity. 

Handouts will be provided in a file for parent to print for class. Class slide presentation will also have the handouts for us to use as we discuss topics during class. 

Class discussion is highly encouraged of all students and make it an enjoyable and lively discussion. Students will be reminded to allow each student time to share their opinions and thoughts. Sharing can be fun and it's a great learning experience about being respectful and taking turns.
