This past week The Harry Potter Book Club made connections from Serious Talk to The Goblet of Fire. Mrs. Loof and I were incredibly impressed to hear thoughtful responses to why witches and wizards had house elves. We talked quite a bit about the connections of house-elves to slavery.
Next week, our guest teacher is Mrs. Russell! Be sure you’ve read Chapters 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. If you need a copy, be sure to see Mr. Bruff in room 30. We will discuss:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- elf rights,
- Mad-Eye Moody’s intentions,
- the Tri-Wizard Tournament, and
- the up and downsides fame,
If you did not receive a handout at the end of Session 13, check out the graphic organizer for the upcoming book club meeting.
