Novel Ideas
Often find yourself lost in a good book? Ever wish you could get inside the character’s world? Well in Novel Ideas, that’s exactly what we will aim to do! We will read sections of a novel for homework and come together to discuss what we have read, similar to a book club! We will then explore different skills or interests that our characters use or learn in the novel. The aim of this course is to facilitate a love of literature and build friendships through shared reading and experiences.
Novels for this class will be selected based on student input.
