Students will improve reading comprehension skills. Learners will be able to describe characters, setting, and events in a story.  Learners will also be able to compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story. They will also be able to determine the theme of a story based on details from the text. 

These goals are based on the Common Core Standards for reading literature in grades 4 and 5. To learn more, see the following links:

I am certified to teach English Language Arts and social studies. I will talk a bit about the background of the novel and address outdated language as sensitively as possible as it comes up. I will help put this language in context. 

It important to remember that this book was published in 1911, over 100 year ago. I acknowledge that some of the language is insensitive and hurtful to some readers. 

However, it is also worth noting books and movies we enjoy today may be considered offensive to people living in the future. This is something we may discuss in class as we deal with scenes and/or language that feel outdated and even offensive by today's standards.
