魔法樹屋第二本閱讀俱樂部：黎明騎士 FLEX

In this flexible schedule course students will read the first book from the Magic Tree House series: Knight at Dawn 
Each week, students will be assigned chapters to read. They will learn a new comprehension strategy to practice throughout the week.

Week 1: Chapters 1-3 This week, students will work on character traits. They will focus on the main characters of the book and will identify features and traits that make them unique. They will complete a character trait project for the two main characters and for themselves. This week's Nearpod includes vocabulary building exercises, comprehension questions and strategies, and a short answer discussion question. 

Week 2: Chapters 4-5 This week, students will work on the plot of the story. In this week's Nearpod lesson, students will work on setting, problem, and rising action. Students will work on a "diorama" this week. They may choose to draw the setting, characters, and main events or may complete a diorama display box. These will be added to throughout the remaining weeks. 

Week 3: Chapters 6-8 
This week, students will get a chance to research a topic from the story (knights, castles, medieval times, etc.). We will discuss research skills, asking questions, and taking notes. On this week's Nearpod, students will work on answering comprehension questions and matching vocabulary words/definitions 

Week 4: Chapters 9-10. Students will learn how summarize a story. They will complete a "letter writing" book report project to show their comprehension of the text. Students will share their writing with their classmates by posting their completed letters to the classroom board. 

Students will receive personalized feedback from the teacher throughout the course. 
Students will watch teacher created mini-lessons about how to use each strategy before getting the chance to apply it to the week's reading. They will get a chance to write about and discuss parts of the book as they complete an interactive Nearpod powerpoint each week. Discussion questions for each chapter will be posted to the classroom board for students to facilitate meaningful discussions about the book, vocabulary words, and character development. After reading the book, students will complete a mini-book report project with teacher guidance.
