-This class is designed to encourage young readers to commit and follow through on finishing a Spanish chapter book while delving into insightful conversations about the content with peers. Las Aventuras de Txano y Oscar is a book series about two young boys who often find themselves immersed in adventure. Txano has a great sense of humor and Oscar has a knack for getting into trouble. -Learners will read each chapter at home independently and then join the live meetings where we will discuss what was read. Students should come to each meeting prepared to converse about the chapters in the order stated below. Week 1 : Introducción & Hola Me Llamo Txano Week 2: El Lago de los Osos & Un Meteorito Explosivo Week 3: ¡Vaya Susto! & Una Merecida Bronca Week 4 : Esperando una Sorpresa & Un Cazador de Meteoritos Week 5: Una Antigua Fotografía & Una Nueva Amiga Week 6: Voces en Mi Cabeza & Cazando Estrellas Fugaces Week 7: ¿Qué Nos Está Pasando? & Una Vieja Historia Rusa Week 8: Una Explosión & Dos Telépatas Más During each meeting the teacher will lead a time of discussion pertaining to the chapters that were assigned. We will cover the following criteria: -first impressions -a summary of the assigned reading -questions to verify that the assigned reading was done -questions for reading comprehension -discussions for analysis/critical thinking skills ⭐ Students will be in charge of one personal exploration activity per week . They should be willing to complete this as homework. Let’s start this reading journey together... and finish it together! Let’s enrich each other’s lives, join me in a class. -Maestra Zia
