ハリー・ポッターと賢者の石小説研究

Harry Potter's life is miserable. His parents are dead and he's stuck with his heartless relatives, who force him to live in a tiny closet under the stairs. But his fortune changes when he receives a letter that tells him the truth about himself: he's a wizard. A mysterious visitor rescues him from his relatives and takes him to his new home, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In this class we will start the Harry Potter series with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. During class, we will discuss what the students read that week. Students will have the opportunity to share their favorite part and ask any questions that they have. We will also learn about a different element of literature each week, which will help students become better critical readers. We will discuss what they already know about the days topic and do a short activity to practice it.

Students will have an independent reading assignment each week consisting of 3 chapters of the book. They will also complete a short assignment to show that they did the the reading and understand the element of literature we discussed in class. The time required will vary depending on how fast your learner reads, but I recommend spending about half an hour a day on their reading/assignment, or 2.5 hours per week. At the end of the course, each student will complete a project and present it during our last class! This will give them the opportunity to work on public speaking skills and being a good audience member.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is recommended for 5th - 6th grade reading levels. If you are unsure if this class is the right level for your learner, please feel free to contact me!

See you soon!
