El libro de tres novelas de estudio semanal

Taran wanted to be a hero, and looking after a pig wasn't exactly heroic, even though Hen Wen was an oracular pig. But the day that Hen Wen vanished, Taran was led into an enchanting and perilous world. With his band of followers, he confronted the Horned King and his terrible Cauldron-Born. These were the forces of evil, and only Hen Wen knew the secret of keeping the kingdom of Prydain safe from them. But who would find her first?

In this class, students will have the opportunity to read The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander! Students will read about 50 pages independently each week. On Monday of each week, I will post one assignment in the classroom that students should complete after they have finished the reading. The assignment will be short, but will help me determine whether students completed the reading and if they understand the concepts we have been working on. Worksheets will be graded and feedback will be sent before the beginning of the next week. Feedback will include a grade for the worksheet, but also more specific feedback on what they did well and follow up questions if necessary! 

During class, we will discuss what we read! Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and to tell us about their favorite parts of the reading. I will also teach a lesson during each class about a different element of literature. These lessons will teach students how to read critically and become better readers. During each lesson, I will present our topic for the week and allow students to talk about what they already know. We will work together as we discuss and learn about the week's topic. Each week's assignment will relate the the element of literature we discussed in class! 

During the last week of class, each student will complete a project of their choice. They will be able to choose a project from a list provided by me or come up with something that is completely their own! The project should reflect what they've learned and gives them a chance to work on their speaking and presentation skills as they present their project in class. 

The time required for this class will vary greatly depending on each student's reading speed. I always recommend that children read for half an hour each day and most students will be able to complete the reading and assignments during that time each week! The Book of Three is recommended for 3rd-7th grade, but it will depend on your child's reading level. Feel free to reach out to me if you're unsure if this book is a good fit for your learner. The assignments can be completed by students of all levels! Some learners will give simpler answers and more advance learners will be able to give me more details.
