My main goal is to have students dig deeper into analyzing a novel and feel confident in sharing their thoughts with their peers. Topics that we will cover include:

Theme
Foreshadowing
Characters
Genre
Conflict
Setting 
Narrator
Writer's Intent

Students who enjoy sharing their thoughts with others either on the microphone or via the chat box will do well in this class. Students who do not like to participate may not enjoy this book club or feel very successful. I do not force students to participate but instead expect students to discuss, engage, and pay attention during class. Please support your student by making sure their video and mic are on and that they are ready to discuss each week.

Please note, we need 6 students to run this book club. Please consider sharing the listing after you enroll your student. I recommend not purchasing any of the books until we have the minimum number of students. Thank you!

We have another listing, if time is an issue. Here's the link: Here's the link to the new listing starting the last Wednesday of September and going through December. https://outschool.com/classes/book-club-reading-the-zoey-and-sassafras-series-book-1-3-lKrdfxeR?usid=7z8XmKD3&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link
