"웨스팅 게임" 독서 동아리

Samuel Westing the millionaire has died, and 16 seemingly unlikely heirs must compete in a bizarre competition to become his heir. Not all of the heirs are who they appear to be, and one may be a murderer. But who is who? That is what learners will discover in this exciting book club.

In this club learners will discuss classic the Newberry Award winning book "The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin. Learners will be assigned 4 chapters to read before each meeting of the class, and during class we will discuss what happened in the chapter with comprehension and discussion questions. Learners will also be required to turn in a 2 page paper at the end of the class about the book and from 3 different choices of styles of paper writing given during the first class. (If they wish they may also submit a optional second 1 page paper half way through the course using the same choices) Before the first class learners should read chapter 1 "Sunset Towers"
