Students will work one on one with the teacher to select classic literature novels to read and discuss in Socratic Seminars. The class (readings and activities) will be designed around the novels that students are interested in. The schedule will be discussed and set by the students and teacher to best meet students' needs and interests. Each week the reading schedule will be discussed and determined based on the discussion. Each novel will be stretch over a couple of weeks to determine the novel of choice and to dole out the agreed upon pages to set up our Socratic Seminar.

Week One:

I have taught many book studies in my professional career (including all of the novels listed above and more). I love taking part in discussions and ensuring that the students needs and interests are met as they read. I like to work with students to help me design and schedule the class! I also teach the course on Outschool WITHOUT essay writing for students who perhaps need more practice in verbal analysis and conversation as opposed to students who need practice in writing. This course is very popular and successful and the reviews can be read with that listing if you would like to see the success!
