For a one-time class on Chapter 1 of Wind in the Willows, students will be evaluated on a set of ten reading questions, with one Bonus Question which is a bit trickier. The purpose of these reading questions is to evaluate the students' understanding of the chapter, with the plot, the characters, and different literary devices by thoroughly reading the entire chapter.Class Experience
I will be teaching Chapter 1: The Riverbank from Kenneth Grahame's novel The Wind in the Willows. I will be reading throughout the chapter in this one-time class, while addressing different literary devices (i.e. plot, theme, character types, alliteration, and imagery), as well as vocabulary. I will give the students a ten-question Reading Quiz after they have completely read Chapter 1. This quiz will be the main source of evaluation for this class, and its purpose is to test the students' comprehension of the text. I will also be providing a Project Gutenberg e-text link of The Wind in the Willows, in case students cannot obtain a physical copy of this book through their local library or through Amazon.
Learning Goals
Students will learn what makes up a story with different literary devices, characters, and an overall understanding and comprehension of one of the most beloved stories of both British and Children's Literature.Syllabus

Other Details
Parental Guidance
I would not recommend this class to those who are seven year of age or younger, due to content throughout the book which might be either too scary or upsetting and/or literary ideas and the writing style throughout the novel, which might be too complex for younger readers to grasp.
Supply List
All that learners need is to bring a few sheets of paper, a pencil or pen, and a positive attitude that is ready to learn!
