If you are a fan of dystopian books like The Hunger Games or Divergent, then you will love the Red Queen series! Red Queen tells the story of a dystopian world where people are divided based on the color of their blood. The elite, silver blooded have special powers that they lord over the ordinary, red blooded. Mare Barrow is a Red, someone who should not have any special abilities due to the color of her blood. Quite by accident, she finds herself immersed in the Silver world where she discovers that she actually does have powers, just like a Silver. After her powers are discovered, she is thrown into a world of political scandals and cover-ups and she must figure out how to balance her involvement in both the Silver and Red worlds. In this class we will read through War Storm, the fourth and final book in the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard. Students will need to have previously read the first three books in the series before enrolling in this course (Red Queen, Glass Sword, King's Cage). **Please note** War Storm is significantly longer than the other books in the Red Queen series. Due to the length of the book, this class is longer than the previous book clubs for this series. We will meet twice a week for four weeks to cover this exciting final book! Students will complete the reading ahead of time and then we will meet together to discuss the book. Through our class discussions we will work on: -comprehension skills -analyzing the characters and their actions -making connections -discussing the author's purpose for including different events and characters in the book -comparing and contrasting different characters and events The teacher will use discussion questions to guide student conversations and discussions. Students are encouraged to jot down any questions or thoughts they have while reading to share with the class. Students will be encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings from the readings each session. We will meet twice a week for four weeks and follow the schedule below for reading the book. Class 1: Chapters 1-4 Class 2: Chapters 5-9 Class 3: Chapters 10-14 Class 4: Chapters 15-18 Class 5: Chapters 19-23 Class 6: Chapters 24-27 Class 7: Chapters 28-31 Class 8: Chapters 32-Epilogue Please have the first 4 chapters read before the first class meeting.
