***Please note that students must have their own copy of the book. Students must also be able to read and understand the story to become members of this club.***

Chapters will be assigned weekly. Each week, we will explore a different topic, as it relates to the chapters we have read.
Students will participate in a guided discussion of each chapter. We will discuss vocabulary words and our understanding of what has taken place. Our classes will include vocabulary and word work, comprehension and critical thinking, writing activities, character and setting exploration, as well as, some geography.
While this is a book club, it is also an English class. Attention will be paid to spoken grammar and vocabulary will be expanded.
Classes will take place in my Koala Go classroom. For more information about Koala Go, please see my introduction video, or send me a message through the italki portal, and I can send you some links.
Koala Go is an amazing learning platform for such an adventure, as it offers us a place to physically explore the setting and characters of this novel.

Beyond the story elements, grammar, and vocabulary that students will learn, book clubs offer  social interactions. Interactions that offer differing points of view, and ideas. They offer an experience of a book, that we cannot have on our own. 



Chapters 1-4 - Who are Anne, Matthew and Marilla?

The first four chapters of this novel are full of information. We meet our main characters, and learn a bit of who they are. We will discuss each of these characters, as well as Mrs. Rachel. We will look at the setting of the book, Prince Edward Island. Discuss its geography, and decide if we would like to visit. 

Chapters 5-8 - Do you think it's possible for Anne and Marilla to have a good relationship?

We now have a very good idea of what Green Gables looks like, we'll discuss the setting a bit more. We'll also imagine that we are Anne, how have we felt about the last two days, what would we write in our dictionary?

Chapters 9-12 - Cause and Effect

What is the cause of Anne's temper towards Mrs. Lynde? What is the Effect? Why does Anne give in and apologize? What would you do?

Chapters 13-15 - The Lost Brooch

A lot has happened in these two chapters, there is much to discuss. Have you ever been accused of taking something? What would you have done, if you were Anne?

Chapters 16-20 Characterization

As our novel progresses, there are some characters who evolve and grow and others remain the same. We'll take a look at our main three characters, and see if anything has changed.

Chapters 21-24 - Story Sequence

A number of 'incidents' have taken place in these chapters, we'll look at the importance of sequence in a story.

Chapters 25-28 - Context

As we become more fluent in English, we should be capable of determining the meaning of difficult words, by the context in which they are used. This week we will look at our vocabulary words in a whole new light. 

Chapters 29-32  - Comparing our thoughts

What so you think was the most important event in these chapters? We'll compare and contrast our results. 

Chapters 33-38 Changes

As we finish Anne of Green Gables, change is in the air. We'll discuss our thoughts on the changes that take place.

Anne of Green Gables - The end

We'll read our book reports and compare notes. What did each of us think of the novel? 
I have different book review templates that I will share with students. They may choose one, or use their own ideas.

Atomic Habits – Conversation & Language Course

This course is built around Atomic Habits by James Clear and focuses on how people talk about change, discipline, and long-term improvement in real life.

You’ll explore the key ideas of the book through guided discussion, practical examples, and everyday language — not summaries or lectures. The aim is to help you speak clearly and confidently about habits, motivation, failure, and consistency, using natural English.

The focus is on understanding ideas, expressing opinions, and applying concepts to your own life while developing fluency and precision. Corrections are supportive and selective, with priority given to clear communication rather than perfection.

This course is ideal for learners who want meaningful conversation, practical vocabulary, and language they can actually use when talking about self-development and change.
