Know:
Do all of the following:
- Read the book “The Goose Girl” by Shannon Hale
Understand:
- Ponder on the following and come to class ready to discuss:
- Ani had to live in hiding for a while. Have you ever felt like you had to “hide” a part of yourself? What helped you be more authentic?
- If you had one of Ani’s gifts (speaking to animals, people, or the wind), which would you want and how would you use it?
- Geric isn’t who Ani first thinks he is. How does this twist change the way we think about judging people too quickly?
- Ani learned strength not in luxury but in hardship. Do you think struggles can actually prepare us for leadership or success? Why?
OTHER THINGS TO KNOW:
We will be having a Goose Girl inspired tea party (herbal tea lol) in class.
Come prepared to be fancy.
Special Tribute:
In The Goose Girl, the true princess is hidden for a time, yet her worth and identity cannot be lost. In much the same way, President Russell M. Nelson often reminded us of our true identity as beloved children of God and the importance of living with integrity and courage. In his honor, we invite each student to bring a favorite quote from President Nelson, written or decorated, to share at the tea party and then display.
We will create a “Words of a Prophet” tribute wall for the month of October.
