As a professional author, I love talking about books with students-- and I especially love urging them to dig deep and think about books beyond a simple "I liked it" or "I didn't like it". This class seeks to engage students in meaningful discussion about books while also touching on literary devices like symbolism, foreshadowing, tone, and voice. More than anything, though, these classes will be fun and social experience, with the goal of making these classic stories relatable rather than stuffy and boring.

We’ll spend the first five minutes of each class getting settled and recapping what happened in that week’s reading. I’ll then ask learners for any opening thoughts they might have in the section. From there, I’ll bounce questions off student observations so that they truly lead the conversation— though of course, I always have some additional discussion topics prepared just in case!

Students should attend the first class having read approximately 1/4 of the selected book! While reading ahead isn't "against the rules", it can become difficult to avoid giving spoilers-- so we advise doing your best to stick to the reading schedule.

Please note that students must independently purchase or borrow the month's selected book-- copies are not provided by myself or Outschool. These books can be purchased anywhere books are sold (in both ebook and print form) and are widely available at libraries.
