In this award winning conclusion to the Prydain Chronicles, we journey with Taran and his friends to the conclusion of all they have been working toward. They finally come face to face with Arawn, Death-Lord, himself in the final battle between the forces of good and evil. Taran and his friends must decide what is most important and how much they are willing to sacrifice to protect the people of Prydain and stop the forces of Annuvin.

**This is the fifth book in the series! Learners should read The Book of Three, The Black Cauldron, The Castle of Llyr, and Taran Wanderer before enrolling in this class. It is not required that they take my classes on these books.

In this flexible class, students will have the opportunity to read a book at their own pace, while still discussing and learning with their peers! We will read The High King by Lloyd Alexander. Students will read about 50 pages independently each week. On Monday of each week, I will post a video where I will teach learners about literary elements to watch for as they read that week! I will also post a Google forms worksheet and 'think about it' question in our classroom for students to complete after they have finished each reading assignment. Worksheets will be graded and feedback will be sent in a timely manner. Feedback will include information on what they did well, what they got wrong, and follow up questions if necessary! I will always respond to student posts and encourage students to respond to each other! Students will hear from me often! The 'think about it' question will be also be a place for students to interact with me and each other.

*Levels of interaction will vary depending on how many learners are enrolled and how much the learners choose to respond to one another.

The time required for this class will also vary depending on each student's reading speed. I always recommend that children read for half an hour each day and most students will be able to complete the reading and assignments during that time each week!
