We spent 20 years homeschooling our own children and now it is my joy to work with homeschooled students of all ages. This blog's purpose is to share free resources used with students in the past. I hope that you enjoy these learning opportunities as much as I have enjoyed sharing them with my own children and students that I work with now.
Sherlock Holmes - The Hound of the Baskervilles - Google Hangouts
We had our next Movies as Literature class in Google Hangouts. The Hound of the Baskervilles is beginning a series over the next few months of mysteries from different authors. What better mysteries to start with than Sherlock Holmes!
I had the students once again watch the film at home and share a document answering these questions. Then we got together and discussed their answers! I love how each time these students do a session they dive a little deeper and express their opinions just that much clearer! I have been challenged by bible verses that I wasn't aware of, by opinions that differ from my own and by the great sense of confidence that these students possess!
Another wonderful session!
A bonus to these sessions is afterward I give our students 15 minutes or so to just chat together about anything - they have fun together, are very animated and genuinely enjoy each other's company. It is definitely an opportunity for social interaction!!
Next session - Another Sherlock Holmes- The Red Headed League. I can't wait!!
Blessings,
Natalie
