Does your learner love curling up with a good book on their bed or in a hammock in their spare time?  Or are they a little more reluctant to choose reading voluntarily, and you want a way to spark that love of reading in them?  Students in this class will independently read a contemporary young adult book each week, focusing on biographies and memoirs, and then come together to discuss it during class time.  This is an excellent opportunity to keep your learner reading for fun, in a way that is truly engaging and enjoyable. 

This summer we'll focus on biographies and memoirs, reading about ordinary people who have overcome extraordinary circumstances. They are inspirational for a variety of reasons, and in a variety of circumstances that are easily relatable. Through reading and discussing, students will make connections between themselves and the writing, other students, their circumstances, and the broader world. 

The weekly breakdown and book selections are below, and the books will need to be read in their entirety before the class where they are to be discussed.  Students are welcome to read their own copy of the book, or a library copy.  Listening to the audiobook is also a great way to read these selections. 

Week 1: "I am Offering This Poem" by Jimmy Santiago Baca (poetry discussion and course overview)

Week 2: "Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team" by Steve Sheinkin 

Week 3: "Reaching for the Moon" Autobiography of NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson
 
Week 4: "Proud: Living My American Dream" by Olympic Medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad (Young Reader's Edition)

Week 5: "Piece by Piece: How I built My Life, No Instructions Required" by David and Ferran Aguilar

What will each week look like?  The vast majority of each week will be spent discussing student questions about the book. Students will write and submit questions to me before the beginning of each class (Blooms Taxonomy question starters will be provided).  Questions might range from, "What was the main idea of the book?" to "What inspired x character?" "Why did a character make a certain decision?" "What impact did the historical setting have on the character's actions and thoughts?" "Would you have made the same decision?" "Have you ever been in a similar situation?"and more.  

Who would do well in this class?  This class is a great choice for students who love to read, and who are able to complete a novel a week.  Students who are slow readers, but are willing to listen to the audio book version, will also do well in this class.  Because this summer's focus is biographies, many students who don't typically love novels might find this genre more engaging. Students who like to talk and discuss, as well as those who prefer to sit and listen, are all welcome. 

*****************************
REFUND POLICY: I understand that booking in advance is appealing to guarantee a spot in the class, but I also realize that plans can change. Please know that if you need to withdraw your learner for any reason up to ten days before the start date of this class, I will be happy to issue a full refund. Please contact me if this is the case.

Metas de aprendizaje

Students will grow in their ability to engage in quality literary discussions with peers, as well as to informally analyze literature. Students will also learn to form connections between books and their own lives.

Necesidades de aprendizaje
Learners with unique learning needs are welcome to listen to audio book versions. Students are invited to engage in discussions verbally or in the chat.
Orientación para padres
The book selections are generally viewed as appropriate for the age level of this class, but please explore the book selections to ensure that these books are appropriate for your learners. Because these are true stories, the characters faced real life obstacles to achieve their dreams. In "Undefeated" the main character was sent to several Native American Boarding Schools and recounts harsh treatment, especially of classmates. Katherine Johnson faced racial and gender discrimination as an African American female. Ibtihaj Muhammad faced religious discrimination as the first Olympic athlete to compete for the US in hijab. David Aguilar faced bullying because of his physical differences. None of these books have graphic descriptions of any of these events, but they are portrayed in a way that students can understand the gravity of the situations. I am prepared to deal with any questions that arise in our student-led discussions. As we discuss these novels in class, we will affirm the value of all humanity, regardless of country of origin, religion, economic status, gender, etc. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to message me.
Requisitos previos
There are no pre-reqs for this class, but students need to be able to read or listen to a novel each week.
