閱讀與閱讀俱樂部營：Louis Sachar 的《Holes》（三年級和四年級小說研究）

"Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys’ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes." Goodreads

Welcome to book club camp! 

Class will begin with a warm-up question to get all students engaged and ready to participate. The teacher will then guide students through a series of multiple-choice and critical thinking questions based on the reading schedule. By utilizing a finger-voting system, all students can answer multiple-choice questions at the same time. For critical thinking questions, students will raise their hands and take turns sharing their thoughts. Throughout the class, students will get a "brain break" as we return to the lesson puzzle and students guess the secret puzzle (students love this feature)! The class will end with the teacher reminding them what to read before coming to the next class. 

This book contains these themes (which we will be discussing):
📚The benefits of true friendship
📚The nature and destruction of cruelty
📚The importance of history
📚 Luck vs. fate vs. coincidence vs. choice
