Middle Grade students (ages 9-14, grades 4-8) will engage through video instruction, story interviews, and ‘paper and pencil’ assignments to work a fun exploration of the middle grade novel Avery the Dogless Orphan and the Interdimensional Stray by Prim Pawn. This course is divided into 4 sections of study, and can take up to 4 weeks to complete. Three sections include Questioning the Story Interviews and a character arc study. The last section includes an enrichment project the student chooses, and final fun with the author. Like a Book Club, all work is geared toward helping kids explore the book on a fun level while incorporating student choice. 9 videos are part of this course, including 2 from the author.
