앤 오브 그린게이블즈 학기 수업

In this 7- week online reading course, learners will read and discuss Anne of Green Gables! Anne of Green Gables is set in the late 19th century and recounts the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan girl who is sent by mistake to two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who had initially intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island. Anne is a vivacious, expressive, and optimistic girl despite living an impoverished life as an orphan. Though she lacks social graces and education, she has a rich imagination, vocabulary, and an eternally optimistic and generous spirit! Because Anne acts according to her inclinations and not according to the social code of manners, she unintentionally defies expectations of "proper" behavior, sometimes to Marilla's dismay.
      Learners will engage in meaningful analysis of the text, including plot, characters, settings, figurative language, point of view, and author's purpose. Discussion questions, interactive activities, and vocabulary will be posted weekly in the classroom for students. This classic novel study provides opportunities to enhance students' development of critical thinking and make inferences and connections with the text.
**Learners will play an interactive game of Kahoot to assess comprehension of the week's material covered. 
    Final project:  Students will be given options for a creative final project due at the end of the course. Learners may also submit ideas if they would like to do something different.
