You do not want to miss out on this exciting book club!  Get ready for edge-of -your-seat suspense as we dive into this intense action novel based on Canada's Oak Island mystery. 

****Please Note: Learners will NOT be required to have a copy of the novel in this book club. 

In this class, I will be reading Canadian author Joan Clark's chapter book, "The Hand of Robin Squires", out loud.  No individual student reading or homework will be required. Instead, learners will simply listen to me read the entire novel to them during the Outschool video sessions. The 'work' in this class will not seem like work at all, but make no mistake, there will be incredible learning going on.  As I read through the novel, children will be given many dynamic learning opportunities such as creating sound effects to go along with the reading, exploring maps of Oak Island, studying slides of the treasure tunnels, and sketching an explorer’s ship!  I will identify key literary elements as I read, first modeling and directly pointing out each element, and then we will explore and practice the literary elements together.  This really sets up your children to enjoy deeper connections in future reading as they will be more likely to recognize the author’s techniques on their own. See the outline below for a breakdown of each class.

-The literary technique of metaphors will be introduced and learners will identify the metaphors in the text, and note how a metaphor and simile are different
-Slides will be shown of the ‘secret tunnel map' and we will discuss how it could work on the actual Oak Island sinkhole
Class 11
-I will read chapter 23 and 24 aloud and learners may sketch the treasure vault
-We will discuss how the title relates to the novel and the author’s technique of using the title to keep the reader guessing
Class 12
-We will briefly explore Nova Scotia, Canada further on google maps and review the geography including bodies of water
-The exciting conclusion!! I will read the final chapter 25 and the post-script aloud
-We will discuss which parts of the novel center around true facts and which parts are fictional(mini-lesson on genre)
-I will refer those learners who are interested in further self-directed study of the real life Oak Island mystery to various websites and books on the subject!

Reading aloud to this age group is often ignored because we assume kids are not interested or too old and can just read on their own.  This couldn't be further from the truth!  Not only are 'read-alouds' an awesome way for older children to hear fluent, expressive reading modeled for them, it is an excellent springboard to encourage them in their own reading and appreciation of great literature. It continues to be a highly valuable, if not essential, literacy tool for our preteens and early teens. Not to mention struggling readers sometimes just need to hear a good book read to them, and I've never once had a child in 26 years of teaching, no matter how tough the customer, not want to listen to a good story!

其他詳情

父母的引導和規範
"The Hand of Robin Squires" is a well written and highly recommended book by literary critics and historians. The plot centers around a boy named Robin who finds out his uncle is a dastardly pirate with ill intentions. On the island Robin meets up with an Indigenous boy his age, they become friends, and narrowly escape with their lives. Although it is written for ages 9-13, it does contain a few scenes that squeamish kids might find hard to listen to. We're talking about pirates and their exploits after all! The events are within the context of the historical time period. I have read this book to my classes for over 20 years(in public and private schools) and have had zero complaints from students or parents. Quite the opposite, it has been a perennial favorite! Any parents who would like more information, please message me and I would be more than happy to give more specifics.
