Students will learn many essential skills during each class such as: character motivation and development, static versus dynamic characters, and descriptive words.  These literary elements will not be focused upon in each class due to time constraints; however, by the end of this 9 week course, students will be able to confidently and intelligently discuss books on a deeper level.  Students will increase their word-attack skills and book-specific vocabulary skills during each class.
In addition, students will be able to identify mood, background events, physical setting, and time while focusing on the setting of each book.
Finally, learners will overcome the summer slump by spending time outside of class reading the books.  Reading during the summer is proven to help students retain the knowledge they learned during the previous school year.

I hold a master's degree with an emphasis in reading.  I teach special education and understand the necessity for lively lessons designed to hold learners attention.
