Parents need to expect that this action-packed fantasy trilogy may feel threatening to younger children. Animals and kids are in constant peril, and younger readers may be upset by the threatened separation between the animals (daemons) and their humans. Like many novels featuring young adults, the actual adults in this novel oftentimes are trying to hurt the young heroes. There are some who find conflict with the role of religion in the novels. While the author does not specify what the religion in this fictional world specifically is, he does describe the main society of this fictional world as being based on that religion and corrupt government practices. While the course does discuss corrupt governments within the novel, no discussion concerning real-world religion will be covered in this course. Parental guidance on each online tool: - Youtube: This course uses Youtube in both live classes and via the Outschool Classroom platform. Outschool embeds the link on its platform so that learners remain on the Outschool platform and don’t access the YouTube website. - Author Site: This course uses the Philip Pullman author site for various activities both in live classes and via the Outschool Classroom platform. This site does not require logging in to participate in the activities. - Wikipedia: This courses uses searches via Wikipedia during in class discussions. This site does not require logging in to participate in the activities. ABC News Australia: This course shares several articles and resources with learners to support ideas shared in the classroom. This specific resource shares information that ties to a video shared during class.
I believe that teaching can be useful but only if it is also fun- boring classes are not allowed and there is nothing worse than being bored (this is why I heavily encourage interaction in e-learning)! Expect to enjoy classes about Harry Potter,...
