The Warrior Cats is a popular book series, Forest of Secrets is the 3rd book in this series. Together we will explore the themes and ideas throughout the book. Students will experience the world through the cats’ eyes while considering the broad themes of the stories — what it means to be a part of a community and the importance of perseverance when facing adversity. Whether you have read the series before or are new to it, this class will help you understand that meaning. Students will gain an appreciation for the elements of fiction: character, plot, point of view, setting, style, and theme. They will learn to think critically about issues of respect, rules, and identity. Each week, students will read the assigned chapters prior to class. The class will cover several chapters from the book and discuss them in-depth.This schedule will allow the learners to read (or reread) the novel while paying close attention to important ideas. Class time will be spent discussing important concepts from the assigned chapters along with related information. By the end of the class, students will have a better understanding of the themes in "Forest of Secrets" and will have developed the knowledge and skills needed to analyze literature in-depth, including critical reading and critical thinking skills. Week 1: Chapters Prologue-6 Week 2: Chapters 7-12 Week 3: Chapters 13-18 Week 4: Chapters 19-24 Week 5: Chapters 25-30.

𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢, where curiosity takes the reins! I'm Kathy, your guide on this exciting journey of exploration.
In our classroom, we embrace The Socratic Method, believing that questions fuel our learning. Together, we'll form our circle of inquiry – a safe space where we're free to delve into our thoughts, respect diverse perspectives, and discover more about ourselves along the way. My classes focus around the philosophical questions that we experience in our daily lives, books, and movies.
A bit about me: I have a BFA from The School of Visual Arts. As an ACE Teacher on Outschool, I've embraced Professional Development Training, honing Outschool's three core principles: Agency, Community, & Expertise.
I bring to our classes a variety of experiences, having donned various hats – from a 15-year stint as an Advertising Executive in corporate America to roles as a Homeschool Teacher and ESL Teacher. I'm a book enthusiast, everything from classics to contemporary themes, even enjoying a bit of mind candy. My passion extends to old movies, where I enjoy introducing timeless classics from the Golden Age of Hollywood to students. Having guided my own children through high school and on to college, I collaborate with local homeschoolers, teaching philosophy, literature, movie studies, and facilitating open discussions on diverse topics like Philosophy, Banned Books, Novel Studies, Hollywood movies, and Women's Studies.
Beyond the classroom, you will find me singing loudly and unapologetically in the car and enjoying moments with family. I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!
𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀:
𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗨𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗬: I have a limited refund policy, which means refunds are available up to 7 days before class starts (or within 24 hours of enrollment). As your enrollment reserves the spot for your child (and prevents another child from taking that spot), I do not issue refunds for late withdrawals or missed classes.
𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆:
When you enroll your child in my classes, you are paying for a live, interactive group learning experience. To maintain the integrity of this format, I do not release recordings of my live classes.
The decision not to share recordings is to protect the safety and privacy of all learners. Many families prefer that recordings of their children not be made available to others, and I fully respect and prioritize that preference. Additionally, this policy helps safeguard my intellectual property, as the lessons I teach are original content I have personally developed. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for educational materials to be misused or copied without permission.
Thank you for your understanding and support in creating a safe and respectful learning environment.Reviews
