1대1 소설 연구 - Alan Gratz의 난민

In these classes, the student will be reading the novel Refugee and participate in class discussions pertaining to each portion that we read together. 

In each class, the student will get an opportunity to read out loud. After reading is completed, the student will engage in class discussions, complete comprehension questions, define new terms, and complete character analysis assignments. 

The novel presents the story of three children embarking on terrifying quests to find safety. Unthinkable risks will be faced by everyone, including betrayals, explosions, and drownings. However, tomorrow is always a possibility. 

Even though Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud live on different continents and in different eras, their lives will ultimately be connected by unexpected ties.

This critically acclaimed book, which was on the New York Times bestseller list for over four years, is as heartbreaking and compelling as it is action-packed and gripping. Its profound perspectives on survival, bravery, and the search for home continue to transform readers' lives.

Since each character goes through their own journey while seeking refuge in a new country, the student will come across topics such as: war, injustice, oppression, trauma, holocaust, coming of age, kindness, cruelty, empathy, making sacrifices, helping one another, and relationships (family and friends). 

The class is structured where the student will get a turn to read in class. Once a section pertaining to a character is read, I will facilitate the class by asking questions about what happened in the section we read.  There will be numerous comprehension questions and in-class activities that focus on the pages we've read. Since the student will come across many new terms, they will be encouraged to define them and use them in their own sentences.

My teaching style is very informative. I like to engage in class discussions and allow students to participate as much as possible so that they can share their thoughts about the topic presented. 

There will be ample opportunities to interact with me. The student will have access to Google Slides where explanations and questions will be posted. 

Together, we will explore the novel and embark on a unique journey that each character experiences.
