一週暑期閱讀營（週一至週五）：夏洛特的網（8-11歲）

Please note that this five-days-in-one-week class covers the same material offered in my once-a-week-for-five-weeks class.  To finish the novel in five days, students should be able to read about 40 pages each day Monday-Thursday, or parents may wish for the student to read some of the novel before the Monday class.

This five-day class is designed to cover the literary elements taught in an elementary grade fiction unit. Rather than reading several short stories in a literature textbook, students will read a complete novel -- Charlotte's Web.  Although Charlotte's Web is often a read-aloud in younger grades, the novel also provides upper elementary students opportunities for enjoyable study and independent reading. Second and third graders taking the class should be strong readers. Fourth and fifth graders struggling with reading or those who have not read this novel will definitely enjoy the classic story. 

See below for general day by day expectations:

Monday: Introduction to E. B. White, setting, vocabulary, descriptive writing, pages 1-42 assigned.
Tuesday: Review game or quiz activity, character, vocabulary, summary writing, pages 42-90 assigned.
Wednesday: Review game or quiz activity, figures of speech, vocabulary, writing activity, pages 91-137 assigned.
Thursday: Review game or quiz activity, theme, vocabulary, opinion writing, pages 138-184 assigned.
Friday: Book Content Activity/assessment, plot mapping, possible writing assignment.

Miss Amy will use Power Point, lecture, example, discussion, games, and Q and A to teach the unit. 

(Although Amy regularly teaches one learner classes, she does need at least two learners to keep the listing viable. Parents will be contacted 24 hours in advance if there is only one learner.)
