"Your mind is a garden and books are the seeds, so pick a favorite, and bloom as you read!" This class will examine the classic tale, "The Wind in the Willows" over the course of six weeks. We will examine vocabulary and comprehension questions from each chapter, but also dive into the world Grahame created with history and geography enrichment activities too. Discussion questions will be posted for class collaboration on the board after each session, as well as, further enrichment activities and research topics. This is a delightful classic that will enthrall and enchant those who read it!

Parental Guidance
It must be noted that while this book is invaluable for his historical content and perspectives of British literature, some sensitive topics that will be addressed throughout the course including but not limited to: theft, vandalism, escape from prison, and the discussion of pistols and swords in battle. We will be noting and discussing these things during the conversation parts of the course. I have a M.A. in History and am also a licensed elementary and high school history educator. I believe in offering a multi-sided perspective in historical accounts.
