Club de lectura y cine de verano: leamos, veamos y debatamos sobre "El único e inigualable Iván"

Did you know, students in grades 3-5 lose about 20% of gains over the summer? This can be prevented by daily reading.

In this club, we will read aloud this Newberry Award winning novel, "The One and Only Ivan." Students will listen to it being read aloud, although we will also have the opportunity for round robin reading, if your student would like to volunteer to read. After we finish our reading for the day, we will discuss characters and plot, make predictions, and more. If there is time, we will complete a Kahoot over the chapters as a fun wrap-up to the lesson.

Your student will have homework each night to read the book. Homework should last 30 minutes maximum. There will also be an optional Kahoot over the chapters read for homework.

Once we finish the book (class 3), we will discuss the overall plot, theme, and characters.

Students should watch the movie between Class 3 and Class 4. During Class 4 we will discuss the movie and compare it to the novel. We will also discuss the real life gorilla, Ivan, who inspired the book.
