In every class, we will begin by taking turns reading aloud paragraphs from a famous work of literature. We will read approximately one chapter per class. Students do not need to purchase these books, since during class I will share slides with the paragraphs from the books written on them. 

After reading through our book for forty minutes, we'll stop and discuss what we read. Our discussions will be fun, but also analytical - this will be a great way for students to improve comprehensive reading skills. 

Our reading list is:

The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Scarlet Pimpernel, by Baroness Orczy
Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens
The Three Musketeers, by Alexander Dumas
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald

This list will be updated as the class continues! I am not setting specific dates for each chapter, since our speed will depend on the class size and the reading levels of the learners who are signed up. The topic of our classes will not change - our discussions will relate to what was read during class. Students who join partway through a book will know where we're at in the book through classroom posts. 

Our first four weeks will be as follows:
May 22nd, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter One
May 29th, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter Two
June 5th, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter Three
June 12th, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Chapter Four

I am a professional ghostwriter who has written over 40 full-length books. My classes are fun, while also teaching students valuable literary analysis skills. I am a huge supporter of homeschooling, having been homeschooled myself. I am a kind and encouraging teacher who makes sure everyone feels at ease!
