US Grade 3 - 6
In this Book Club , we will meet once a week for 6 weeks to discuss 6 books that will be a mix of Newberry honor and medal books. These are examples of children's literature that are excellent and sure to become favorites. The goal of the class is to help learners analyze a novel and to express their thoughts and opinions. Topics that will be explored are characters, theme,genre, conflict and resolution, setting, point of view and author's purpose. The class is designed for voracious readers and those who want to challenge themselves to read more. The class will be structured as follows: Week 1: We will read and discuss Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Reilly Brink Week 2: Read and discuss Lily's Crossing by Patricia Reilly Giff Week 3: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Bail E. Frankweiler by E. L. Koingsburg Week 4: Read and Discuss Ginger Pye by Eleanor Estes Week 5: Read and discuss Chitty Chitty Bang Bang:The Magical Car by Ian Fleming Week 6: The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare
