This is a class for students who have read The Mysterious Benedict Society and want to continue reading the series together. It will be formatted as a book discussion. Students will be asked to read the assigned chapters before class each week. Live meetings will revolve around discussion of the chapters read. The teacher will always have discussion questions prepared but students will be encourage to share their own questions or points for discussion as well. Each class will begin with a summary of the chapters read. Then, students will discuss the chapters at length, beginning with basic questions about plot and characters and progressing to ones which require deeper thought and understanding.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Teacher Tricia, and I'm so happy to be here on Outschool with you. I teach classes in a variety of subjects including language arts, literature, history, and life skills. As a homeschool mom of two kiddos, I have experience teaching in many different subjects and with ages ranging from early elementary through middle school. I also currently teach at a local co-op where classes are held on a once a week basis in a format very similar to that of Outschool except that I am actually in the same room as my students. In addition I attended Purdue University with a major in Elementary education and received plenty of classroom experience during my time there. I believe education should be a life-long endeavor, and I strive to learn something new everyday. It is my firm belief that when information is given in a fun and interesting way, students are much more likely to find the learning process enjoyable and to remember their classes and the subjects taught far into the future. I also ensure that each of my classes meets the needs of learners of all types. By presenting materials in many different ways and formats, I hope to be able to connect with each and every learner. I am always available if you have questions. I look forward to teaching and learning with you.
