告訴我關於貓武士的一切（正在進行中）

When our children develop passions, we want to encourage them! In Tell Me All About Warrior Cats, your kids will spend an hour telling me about their passion for Erin Hunter's popular Warrior series. I will listen and ask questions designed to elicit more detailed descriptions and explanations of the would Hunter builds within her books. I even want to know about their original Warrior cat characters (OCs) and clans. Discussion between students about these topics is highly encouraged! We will strive towards conversations that are respectful and involve active listening. 

The focus of this class is developing conversation skills with peers and adults, as well as learning to describe things with clarity and specificity so that someone will less familiarity with a subject can learn something new. Along with discussing the books, students share artwork, fiction, polls & quizzes, songs, and other creative works inspired by the Warriors series. I will offer positive feedback about a topic that students feel strongly about and give them an opportunity to feel heard and see their opinions and knowledge are valued. The students in these classes typically form a tight bond and many build friendships that extend beyond the classroom. 

The first week of each month, we have game week, which follows the normal class format for the first half of class, and a game for the second half, typically a quiz game like Blooket or a drawing & guessing game. All games are held in private virtual classrooms that no one but students can access, and all game content is provided by me to ensure it is appropriate and on topic. 

My students continually surprise me with their maturity when it comes to exploring topics and themes within this series. I encourage them to engage with these books through the lens of literary and social criticism. What we read can greatly impact how we see the world!
