𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝘂𝗶 𝗦𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱'𝘀 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀!

We'll take a look at the stories from a literary standpoint, discussing elements such as how the author creates realistic characters, foreshadows events, incorporates specific themes, and more!
The class aims to prove that reading "smart" isn't just for dusty old books-- that all books hold a treasure trove of secret ingredients if you only learn how to look for them. This class an excellent way for students to learn and practice academic book discussion about a topic they're already fans of-- 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦!

Each class will feature a new discussion topic, listed below. This class is a guided discussion; while the topics are defined and I strive to keep students on subject, students are nonetheless encouraged to speak up, offer opinions, and play a role in guiding the conversation. 

This is a weekly subscription-style class that can be joined at any time— the material does not repeat!

While students do not need to have read the entire series to take this class, students who are particularly sensitive to spoilers should be cautious about what sessions they enroll in. Where applicable, I have listed what books we'll specifically be discussing.

Please note that we take the first week of every month off; you are not charged for this week, and will not need to unenroll!
