This 6 week class will have a weekly reading assignment and then meet to discuss the book (learners will need their own copy) - we will discuss themes, setting, sequencing, use prediction, learn new vocabulary,  study writing techniques and analyse the text. We will use close reading and weekly ‘reading detective’ activities related to the chapters for each week.
