Description
Class Experience
In this 10 week class we will read and discuss the first book in the Lunar Chronicles series - Cinder by Marissa Meyer. A classic love story between a Prince and a commoner... with some not so classic twists. Cyborgs, royalty, a mysterious lunar race, and a plague in need of a cure- this book has excitement at every turn! Each week we will discuss the chapters we have read, talk about our favorite parts, analyze story imagery and similarities to traditional fairytales, and make predictions...
While this class is for older learners, it is less of a formal "educational" class, and more for learners to join with others that share a love of reading- and reading the Lunar Chronicles in particular! There will be no written assignments for this class- this is just an opportunity for students to discuss a great book with others and get the idea of how an open forum discussion class/book club is run. I have run many book clubs in the past and always had a great time. The Lunar Chronicles are an awesome book series, and I hope to share these twisted fairytales with other learners!

Please read the assigned chapters before book club each week (about 40 pages, give or take). Make sure to write down any thoughts you have while reading or predictions about what will come next so you are ready to share with the group!50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
This is a fictional book that dives into a fantasy world with cyborgs, a race from the moon, and a mysterious virus. We will discuss topics such as humanity, discrimination, special abilities, the importance of beauty, making tough decisions, and the importance of truth telling. While some of these topics can be serious and draw parallels to current events, these discussions are meant to be fun and lighthearted and aimed more inwards to the book - only drawing on personal experience and real life a little. We will always be courteous and conscious of other group members opinions and feelings - this group is meant for fun and to get to know others that share the interest of this awesome book series!
Cinder by Marissa Meyer Available online at Target and Amazon (around $10) but check your local book store or library as well!
