**Previous class required** Before enrolling in this class, please make sure that your learner has taken my class "Warriors Book Club: Rising Storm." I will be checking enrollments to ensure all enrolled students have fulfilled this requirement. This class is the fifth in a series of six classes covering the first Warriors series and completing a creative writing project. Throughout the six classes, students will read the first six Warriors books, engage in discussion about the books with their peers, and learn creative writing through project assignments. If they take each class covering the Warriors books, students will come to the end of book six having planned, outlined, and written their own short book. In this way, all six classes together function as a literature and creative writing course. The adventure continues in A Dangerous Path by Erin Hunter! Now that we have read book four of the Warriors series together, it's time to read book five. Learners will also continue writing the stories they started writing in the previous class. We will follow a pattern of two weeks of book discussion, one week of sharing writing projects. The chapters they write will be a continuation of the projects they completed in the previous classes. By the end of this class, learners will have written chapters five through ten of the story they started in the previous class. Session 1: discuss prologue-chapter 3 Session 2: discuss chapters 4-6 Session 3: present sixth chapter Session 4: discuss chapters 7-9 Session 5: discuss chapters 10-12 Session 6: present seventh chapter Session 7: discuss chapters 13-15 Session 8: discuss chapters 15-18 Session 9: present eighth chapter Session 10: discuss chapters 19-21 Session 11: discuss chapters 22-24 Session 12: present ninth chapter Session 13: discuss chapters 25-27 Session 14: present tenth chapter **OPTIONAL SUPPLEMENTARY CLASS RECOMMENDATION** Each week, I host a creative writing round table for aspiring writers. As part of this round table, I offer personalized written feedback on one writing piece per student per week (provided they submit the piece 24 hours before each week's round table). If your learner would like more feedback on their chapters beyond what I can provide in this class, I recommend they join this weekly round table. I also have a one-on-one writing mentorship available if your learner would like even more personalized assistance with their writing. Both classes can be found on my teacher profile under my available classes.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to talk about the books they are reading with other people. They will also get practice both writing and providing constructive criticism on each other's writing.
