📚Join me through this ongoing reading adventure where we will focus on the 5 book series -Trapped in a Video Game, written by Dustin Brady. 💬This book club will meet 1x a week for 45 minutes. Learners will be asked to read the assigned chapters each week, *before* meeting for class. During class we will participate in a variety of fun and engaging activities, ranging from: ▪️Taking turns in class discussions ▪️Referring back to the text for evidence and understanding ▪️Diving into different reading skills, concepts and strategies (character, setting, plot, theme, inferencing, analyzing text, etc) ▪️Writing summaries ▪️Making predictions and more ✏️Each week I will offer optional assignments to help guide learners through their weekly reading. These assignments will consist of comprehension questions, writing, and some fun activities that we will be able to share in class. (Please note: As I do encourage learner participation in class, I will not force a learner to share or speak up, if they choose not to. My goal is to build self-confidence, and team building within these classes so that all learners feel comfortable and have fun expressing their love of these awesome books.) 😉Learners may join the class at any time throughout the session. 📖Book Club Schedule & Chapters: -->Please see the class syllabus for weekly chapter assignments. (Please Note: This session will be ongoing for 7 weeks. We will read books 1 & 2 from the Trapped in a Video Game book series.
