This class is designed to be a book discussion.  This is not a learn to read class.   Each week we will read and discuss a new book through discussion questions and short videos posted in our Outschool classroom.   The books that have been selected are from a variety of different second-grade level books and have been favorites of my students over the past few years or come highly recommended. 

Students enrolling in this class should be able to read at a typical beginning of the year second grade level or have support at home to help them to read the books.  It would be best if students read independently, however, this may not be possible for all students, and comprehension of a story is also an important reading skill.  Each week the books do become progressively more difficult.  The final books are longer and more difficult.  

Each Week Students Will: 
Read a new book. 
Respond to at least two discussion board questions that are posted. 
Students will comment on at least one other students opinion or idea.  
 ** Please note that typing at this age can be difficult so students are encouraged to use the video recording to record their thoughts and opinions. 
Participate in an optional Kahoot. 

This class is designed for typical beginning of the year second grade book discussions.  Students will share things such as their favorite part or character.  

During the final week of this class students will select their favorite character that they have read about.  They will create a project showcasing their understanding of this character and his/her importance in the book they read.
