History Week 4 Masters Class

**** We had a great discussion about Les Miserables in masters class. If you didn't get a chance to read the first part and join us in class, it's not too late to read the book! We are going to have a Masters+ class -- in other words, a book club discussion outside of Vanguard -- for anyone (adults included) who want to discuss Les Miserables. We will not be meeting to discuss the book until FEBRUARY, so if you start now and pace yourself you'd be reading around 100 pages a week (or less) since we have more than 8 weeks until we would meet to discuss the book. This is totally doable! This is a good challenge for me too, I'm reading the book for the first time and I can't wait to discuss it together :)****

Now on to our next master class assignment. This month we will be reading a Christmas book, Jacob T. Marley by R. William Bennett.

I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to hearing what you loved about it when we meet back together in January.

If you've never read "A Christmas Carol" or if you've never seen a movie/play version of that book then I do encourage you to familiarize yourself with the story before reading Jacob T. Marley. My favorite movie version of "A Christmas Carol" is An American Christmas Carol  or, let's be real, the one by the Muppets is pretty great too :D

So there's your assignment, brush up on the story of A Christmas Carol and then read Jacob T. Marley and THEN send me your idea for the sticker!

Also, if you need stickers from the past then send me a text and let me know which ones so I can get you caught up. I have extra stickers from past books ready to pass along, just let me know what you need :) As long as you've read the book you get the sticker, whether or not you made it to masters that day :)
