Students will read approximately 30-40 pages a week on their own time. This class does not meet live. Students will have access to two videos a week. The first video will discuss the pages that the students have previously read. The prerecorded sessions will emphasize characters, their motivations, theme, story plausibility, and inferences about what might come next in the story. The second video will include instructions on creating origami. We will create a different Star Wars character each week. I will post my creations in the classroom and challenge students to do the same! 

Class Weekly Breakdown:
On Sundays, students will receive a one page worksheet with discussion questions for each weekly video. The worksheets remind the students of some of the important topics from each chapter. Each week, I assign a short writing assignment focused around that week's discussion questions and ask the students to share their responses in the classroom (so other students may view, comment, and interact as well). 

On Mondays, I post an I Spy challenge and ask the students to list one specific item they can "spy" from the week's reading. Students can also challenge other students (or myself!) to find other items as well. 

Tuesdays through Thursdays I will post a vocabulary word for the students to use in a modern sentence. 

On Fridays, I will post a video with instructions on creating origami. We will create a different Star Wars character each week. Students are encouraged to show off any origami they attempt throughout the class! I'm excited to see the students post pictures or videos of their creations each week. 

On Saturdays, I'll post a Kahoot trivia game that ties into the weekly reading and gauges students reading comprehension. Students will take the quiz individually and post their score in the classroom to share with their classmates.
