Description

Class Experience

"The Maze Runner" is a popular series in both books and film, but have you ever wondered about the deeper meaning?  Or are you interested in reading this series for the first time along with others?

In this six-week class, learners will read and will discuss the first book in the Maze Runner series, "The Maze Runner" by James Dashner. This book discussion class is open to both readers who have read the novel before and those who will be reading it for the first time in this class.

I am an experienced literature teacher, and I have taught several dystopian novels, including classics like “Brave New World” and newer dystopian fiction like “The Hunger Games” series.

Learners will read the assigned chapters each week to prepare for the discussion.

Students will need a copy of "The Maze Runner." All other information, including external links, will be provided during class, on the Classroom page, or via Google Docs.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.

The novel includes fictional language and violent scenes that some readers may find uncomfortable.
