Description

Class Experience

This class is taught in English.
Students will practice independent reading, then analyze and discuss the text by discussing vocabulary, setting, plot, and characters.
Students will read the book independently over our five-week class. Most of our assignments will be digital (in Nearpod) but I may provide a few printable graphic organizers for learners to use as they read through the book. The majority of our classwork/homework, activities, and projects will be on Nearpod.
 3 files available upon enrollment
The Mysterious Benedict Society (book one) by Trenton Lee Stewart (buy a copy or check it out from your local library) Nearpod (details will be provided before class begins) handouts may be provided by the teacher Wikipedia scientificamerican.com history.com
Students can opt to receive a letter grade at the end of class.
No live meetings, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
***Nearpod***
Nearpod is required to participate in class. Detailed instructions and a class code with be provided before class.

The Mysterious Benedict Society, Book One, is recommended for ages 9+. Common Sense Media also recommends age 9+. They rate it as a two out of five for violence and scariness but note that it stands out for positive messages and role models.
