アバター伝説の少年アン読書クラブ: 読んで、書いて、描いて!

The Avatar the Last Airbender franchise has published dozens of books and graphic novels, all aimed at building a rich and exciting world for young readers. In this ongoing class, we will read passages from different Avatar stories and complete activities aimed to improve reading and writing skills. 
 
We will focus on skills such as fluency, intonation, vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar, syntax and complex writing. The class will also include art projects for a variety of learning! (We have to create our own Avatar comics!) 

Another goal of the class is to build discussion and critical thinking skills. Learners will be encouraged to formulate opinions and share ideas in their own words. They will also tackle larger questions about life and morality. We will have lots of fun discussing the books, our favorite characters and so much more!

Each class will use a variety of teaching methods to engage every type of learner. Classes will include reading out loud, worksheets, peer review, quizzes, videos and much more. Learners will be challenged to question what they know and draw connections between the books and the real world. 

Learners are not required to own any of the books we will be reading, nor do they need to read every book in full. Each week, learners will be provided with all the materials they need via the classroom.
