Our structure allows learners to meet and foster a fun and supportive environment:
2 minutes- Introduction: introduce the teacher and learners, share class objective, review class housekeeping   
Students are welcome to enjoy a snack during class. 
3 minutes- Greetings: call each student by name and ask a fun literature question
10 minutes- Learning: using a teacher prepared slideshow, students will learn all about the current chapters of the book.  Students will learn elements such as:  style, characters, setting, plot, theme, conflict, point of view, chapter headings, quotes, genre, and much more.
5 minutes- Discuss:  teacher will lead students to have the opportunity to talk all about the current chapters of the book with one another 
10 minutes- Questions & Optional Challenge:  students will have the opportunity to answer some questions associated with the current chapters of the book.  
Teacher will end class with a challenge for students to complete after class.  These challenges are ALWAYS optional.  
Examples include:

Which character is your favorite?  Write a short summary about your favorite character.

My classes are inclusive and allow learners to ask questions, cultivate discussions, and share experiences with each other to learn together and of course, have fun. My teaching style is energetic, interactive, engaging, and always supportive.
