Come tour the world through great books! Join me and other classmates from all over the planet as we read exciting stories about great adventures and the people who experienced them. In this series, we’ll read one book together over the course of 3 weeks, giving you time to read and dive into the story. Included in our book club will be: -Weekly live book discussion -An engaging presentation all about the author -Intriguing background information highlighting locations, characters, and historical context -Appropriate video tie-ins -Vocabulary review -Weekly creative projects such as a Dorothea Lange-style photo shoot, a settings "field trip", and your very own blue willow plate painting -Optional hands-on activities and resources to help you follow the rabbit trails that interest your learner the most To Janey Larkin, the blue willow plate was the most beautiful thing in her life, a symbol of the home she could only dimly remember. Now that her father was an itinerant worker, Janey didn't have a home she could call her own or any real friends, as her family had to keep moving, following the crops from farm to farm. Someday, Janey's family would once again be able to set down roots in a community. 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸, written by Doris Gates, is an important fictional account of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, and has been called The Grapes of Wrath for children. It won a 1941 Newbery Honor and many other awards. You can choose to read or listen to an audio version of the book. We’ll split each book into sections and read one section per week. Love reading? Intrigued by history? Enjoy talking about your favorite books with other kids who do, too? Join us!

Book lover, home educator (8 students over 25 years!), author, and story-hungry Outschool teacher. One of my greatest joys is seeing your learners spark an interest in great literature through our discussions together! I grew up in Fresno County, where 𝘉𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 is set, and still live in a nearby California farming community.Reseñas
