Class Experience

In this fun and engaging Reader's Theatre camp, we will share the reading of Rick Riordan's FIRST novel Percy Jackson The Lightening Thief, adapted for Reader's Theatre.  There are five scripts adapted from the first book, and we will read one script per day.  We will then have in depth discussions that will cover: themes, character development, forshadowing, antagonist and protagonist, metephors and the hero's journey

Day 1:  Chapter 1 - Reading script and discussion of characters
Day 2:  Chapter 8 - Reading script and discussion of foreshadowing
Day 3:  Chapter 15 - Reading script and discussion of antagonist and protagonist
Day 4:  Chapter 19 - Reading script and discussion of themes and metephors
Day 5:  Chapter 21 - Reading script and discussion of the hero's journey

The focus of my class is self confidence, risk taking and encouragement.  If you have a reluctant reader, a shy or anxious child, this is a safe place for them to be able to express themselves through a script.  If you have a child who loves to try different vocal choices, this is the perfect place to try them out!   

We will read the lines together to build trust and confidence and then assign parts.  
If any child is feeling shy or unsure, I will read the lines with them.  We will support each other until everyone is comfortable to read independently.  
There is no need for memorization.  Scripts will be provided before class.  Costumes, props and make-up are optional.

Learning Goals

Reader's Theatre is cooperative, and provides opportunities to learn with support.  It's creative and encourages language experimentation and risk-taking.  It provides natural occasions for practice and enables children to build a repertoire of reading strategies with a purpose.  
Apart from the fun aspect, there are many opportunities for the emergent reader to become comfortable with reading a script.  
The children will have fun listening to each other, reading together and celebrating their accomplishments.
Pacing, inflection, expression and fluency will all be practiced. 
Through open discussion, students will learn thinking out of the box, improvisation and will use their imagination!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Please note: There are some slightly frightening scenes in the book, and content may not be suitable to younger children. There are references to violence and killing.
Supply List
I will provide five scripts.  Please print off a copy of that days script and have it ready for class.  Please ensure your learner has access to a quiet place to read without distraction, video and a microphone.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
What better way to encourage reading then to have some fun with a jarring novel like Percy Jackson!  I have a Bachelor's Degree with a Major in Drama and a Minor in English.  
I have performed and toured with a cast where we performed across Alberta, Canada - engaging young students and bringing with us a love of drama!
I am a homeschool mom myself and I have two children with special learning needs, including Aspergers and NVLD.  I guide my teaching to each child's unique needs and will support and encourage so everyone feels comfortable and accepted.
