Embark on a thrilling journey with our three-week book study of The Secret Zoo by Bryan Chick, designed specifically for advanced elementary learners. This captivating course will immerse students in a world where zoo animals and children team up for extraordinary adventures. Through engaging discussions and critical thinking exercises, students will delve into the magical realms of the Clarksville City Zoo and uncover the secrets it holds. Each week will focus on specific chapters of the book that should be read before the student enters the classroom. It is encouraged for students to have their novel handy for the session as passages are consistently referenced for examination. On top of captivating literary discussion, students will also delve deeper into particular elements referenced in the novel. For example, the protagonist uses a magical key that changes its ridges to fit in a lock. In our discussion, we will watch a short video that shows how keys are made specifically for locks and then discuss what elements of the magical key had to change to make it fit in the lock for the story. Each of the lessons culminates in a Quizlet vocabulary game where students test their knowledge of vocabulary used in the chapters they just read. I will provide Quizlet practice links prior to each session for students to practice, as well. By the end of this course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of The Secret Zoo, its characters, and themes. They will enhance their reading comprehension, analytical, and creative skills through a variety of engaging and interactive activities. This book study will not only deepen their love for reading but also inspire them to think creatively and critically. Join us in this magical adventure, and discover the wonders that lie within The Secret Zoo!
