In this ongoing class, we discuss the InvestiGators, a graphic novel series by John Patrick Green. It is expected that students attend having read the novel for that week. Week 1: book one Investigators Week 2: book 2 Take the Plunge Week 3: book 3 Off the Hook Week 4: book 4 Ants in Our P.A.N.T.S. Week 5: book 5 Braver and Boulder Week 6: book 6 Heist and Seek Week 7: book 7 All Tide Up Each week we will begin our class with a Five Finger Retell, where we discuss the characters, setting, beginning, middle and end of the book for the week. After, we will make text-to-text, text-to-self and text-to-world connections. Then we will run through a series of guided comprehension questions that will include making predictions, inferences, discussing vocabulary in the book, plot points, themes, tone, mood and style. We will discuss how the illustrations enhance the message of the book. We will end with a speed round of trivia questions. The class will be run through guided discussion. Students are encouraged to share their thoughts throughout class. It is recommended that students bring their book with them to each class for reference.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Ms. Amanda and I was born to teach. I have two younger sisters and when I was little, I would play teacher with them all the time. As a child, I even taught my sister Sam how to read. I love reading and Harry Potter is my all-time favourite series (yes that is how you spell favourite in Canada).
Now that I am all grown up, I have had the pleasure to teach everything from Pre Kindergarten to grade 6, Adult Basic Education and college level courses. I was even the Principal and Student Support Teacher of a small school for a few years! I have a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, a BEd, a Masters of Science in Education with a specialist in reading and literacy and am currently a Doctoral Candidate.
I believe that all students can learn when the teacher recognizes student choice and multiple intelligences, and when strong relationships are fostered through listening and sharing. This will develop a lifelong love of learning.
I can't wait to virtually meet my students from across the continent!
Talk to you soon,
Ms. AmandaReviews
