Students will read three chapters a week on their own time. Each lesson, a new video will discuss the pages that the students have previously read. This class does not meet live. The prerecorded sessions will emphasize characters, their motivations, theme, story plausibility, and inferences about what might come next. 

Each lesson, students will have access to a video that covers the important elements of the week's reading and a corresponding one page worksheet with discussion questions and places for fill-in-the blank answers. The worksheets will also address/remind the students of some of the important topics from each chapter. Each lesson, I assign a short writing assignment. I also ask students to submit any vocabulary words they didn't recognize or passages they did not understand. The more questions the students ask, the more "discussion" we can have in the classroom after each chapter. 

Lesson breakdown:
Students will have access to a video that covers the important elements of the lesson's reading. They will receive a worksheet with discussion questions for each weekly video. There is one weekly writing assignment to complete after the weekly readings. I respond to all completed worksheets and writing assignments to help foster discussion and clear up any remaining areas of uncertainty. 

I will post a vocabulary word for the students to use in a sentence that showcases their understanding of the definition. I post comments on students' sentences and offer corrections if the word is used incorrectly.  

I also post a link to an optional Kahoot!  review quiz that students can further immerse themselves in this world.
