2-4 horas por semana. Learners will be expected to read the week's chapters, do the correlating projects, and most of all, jump into the discussions we have each week. I give a lot of space for learning disabilities and non-neurotypical learners (I have a few in my own home!), so if you're hesitant about the class format, please reach out to me.

Are you a college-bound middle or high school student looking to read the best of literature that universities will have expected you to read before arriving on campus? If you're someone who loves to read, you probably can't wait to get started. But what if you are a reluctant reader who knows you'll have to read this stuff and try to at least make a stab at understanding it? 

Either way, we're going to bring this essential novel to life and enjoy the ride!

Nathaniel Hawthorne is a quintessential 19th-century American author, most noted for his dark romantic novels that highlight the best and worst of humanity. Hawthorne is known for his novels 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘎𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝑳𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 has deep themes that are relevant to our lives and culture today. Do we see ourselves in the judgment of a society that casts a woman out from among their tightly controlled circle? How do we recognize hypocrisy? Socratic discussion, engaging conversations, and hands-on projects that incorporate art, poetry, and a few other surprises will round out our five weeks as we discover Hawthorne's 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝑳𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓.

Our course will look like this:
Week One: Background lecture and pre-reading discussion
Week Two: Read and discuss the introduction and chapters 1-6
Week Three: Read and discuss chapters 7-12
Week Four: Read and discuss chapters 13-19
Week Five: Read and discuss chapters 20-24

Please keep reading below if you have any concerns regarding the book's content.

-To round out a high school semester, add either:
Essentials for Reluctant Writers Semester I (academic essay writing) 𝘰𝘳
Essentials for Reluctant Writers Semester II (creative writing) 𝘢𝘯𝘥
High School English: Read Literature Like a Professor (literary analysis)

Orientación para padres
The story of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 centers around Hester Prynne, a married woman who becomes a social outcast when she conceives a child out of wedlock during her husband's long absence. Forced by the outraged Puritan townspeople to wear a red letter "A" for adultery on the breast of her gown, Hester refuses to name her daughter's father and accepts a life set apart from nearly everyone she knows. There is not any sexual content in the book, but of course, the subject of a child born out of wedlock will be discussed.
Lista de útiles escolares
You will need a copy of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳, and there are free sources available online. An audiobook version is a great idea if you are a reluctant reader, but you'll also want to underline and make notes in a copy of the book where you can.

What happens when a learner is given the time and space to soak in a story and allow it to change their life? “Aha!” moments are my goal, and it’s why I adore leading worthwhile discussions about classic books. What good is it if we require a teen to read a book but our dry and uninteresting rendering makes them never want to pick up another book of note ever again? 

Book classes for kids who want an adventure, middle and high school literature studies, introductory writing, and engaging story times for the youngest of readers and story lovers are my passion here on Outschool. We can give our kids so much more than our own experiences when we open a book and the world to them!

I have a BA in Music/Opera Studies and am currently studying for an MSt Literature and Arts at Oxford University. I homeschooled our 8 children for 25 years in which we studied, read, and learned through nearly 500 great books together. That experience and literary knowledge have spilled out into the literature studies I lead with adult learners and kids alike.
