読書クラブ - 私は生き残った! シリーズ

The most exciting events in history are brought vividly to life in this New York Times bestselling historical fiction series! Join us as we meet to discuss one I survived! book each week, and do a fun deep dive into the historical event! 

In this ongoing class, we will meet once weekly for 24 weeks to discuss our reading. During class time, full participation in class discussion is expected. There is grace for a shy student, of course, but students will be encouraged to dive into the discussion as they acclimate to the group. Each student will have a turn to share their thoughts and ideas. I will have questions and discussion prompts ready each week, should conversation lag.  

After our discussion time, we will take a Deep Dive into the historic event for that week, as well as a Map Time (virtual) field trip to the location, and  end with a game if time permits! My book clubs are typically highly engaging, highly interactive, very lively! 

Each book is to be read ahead of time, before class. The book is also available as an audiobook! All of class time will be dedicated to discussing the books, applying critical thinking, discussing characters, plot, and other literary aspects, designing a book cover, and ending with a fun game, all related to the book. Snacks are always welcome! 

*While this is a book club, and not a history class, per se, please see the parental guidance section of this listing!*

Please read or listen to the assigned book BEFORE class!
