Club de lectura: “El robot salvaje se escapa” de Peter Brown (secuela de “El robot salvaje”)

Roz has returned in Peter Brown's book "The Wild Robot Escapes", the sequel to "The Wild Robot"! Each class, students will listen to the teacher read about Roz the robot's incredible journey, and students will also have opportunities to read as well. This wonderful novel will explore many interesting themes including; friendship, family, self-discovery, nature vs. technology, conservation, civilization, belonging and the importance of home.

The novel is written in short and engaging chapters that capture the imagination and wonder of readers. 

Please Note: It is possible to enjoy this novel without having read the first novel. It can be read independent of the first novel.

In order to get the most out of these classes and this wonderful book, there will be 6 classes (6 classes - 2 classes a week, over the course of 3 weeks). The teacher will read designated chapters from the novel and students will participate in guided discussions. After the discussions, there will be a video included to further explore a topic from the readings. The majority of the videos will be nature and STEM related, and encourage readers to think beyond the text. 

After the final class is completed, students will get a personalized certificate to celebrate their learning from the book club class. 

The following is the schedule for each class (please note - the schedule is flexible as I like to ensure students have the opportunity to read if they like, and also focus on book topics that are interesting to them):
