Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Book Club - Read Aloud and Activities
Spark Education - Allschool
In this class, students will join their peers and their teacher for a fun, lively discussion of the Harry Potter books. Students will have fun talking about their favorite characters and moment. They will also explore the themes and what we can learn from these stories. Students will take turns reading the chapters aloud to the class. I will provide students with a few questions each week to think about as they do that week's reading.
By participating in this class, students will learn how to interact with their peers, how to discuss what they are reading, and how to agree and disagree respectfully when opinions differ. My goal as a teacher is to be a guide. I will facilitate discussions and encourage students to both give voice to their thoughts and be kind to others as they voice their own. Each lesson will be highly interactive. Students should be prepared to participate in discussions during each meeting. No prior knowledge or experience is required for this class. Students only need to bring a love for reading and discussion!
Students will need to have access to the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
