Fifth Grade Literature

Description: This class will guide your students through some of the most beloved childrens literature. Students will explore the magical world of Narnia with the Pevensie children and Aslan in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Tag along with Heidi as she discovers the Swiss countryside and learns what it means to live freely, all while finding plenty of mischief along the way. Students will also discover the ups and downs of Lassie's difficult journey through post-war England as she tries to rejoin her family in Lassie Come-Home.  Using our literature guides as a springboard for discussion, we teach students to become more active readers and increase their vocabulary and comprehension skills. Students will think deeply through the story and learn to identify the important characters, events, and themes. The grade is based upon active in-class participation, online reading quizzes, and a three enrichment projects (one per book).
