Once our students have access to a novel that no longer has to be read solely in the classroom, the possibilities are endless. Our school has a P.A.C.K. motto. P.A.C.K. stands for Persevere, Achieve, Connect and be Kind. Our focus in the classroom will be to supplement the novel with additional texts to deepen our understanding of the novel and to connect it all to our P.A.C.K. motto. Not spending all of our time in class reading the novel, will also mean that we can lead more engaging Socratic seminars, have more meaningful discussions, and spend more time on writing instruction.
The students will become more empowered in their learning as we will have time to implement a project-based learning opportunity. This opportunity will allow them to explore a passion related to the novel that connects back to our P.A.C.K. motto.
