Welcome back to Avonlea!
In this 5-week upper elementary book club, students will continue Anne Shirley’s journey in Anne of Avonlea by L. M. Montgomery. No longer the imaginative orphan we first met, Anne is now “Miss Shirley,” a young schoolteacher determined to inspire her students and improve her community.
As Anne steps into responsibility, students will explore how leadership, humility, ambition, and maturity shape her character. Through thoughtful discussion, shared listening, creative activities, and reflective projects, learners will track Anne’s growth from dreamer to influencer — discovering that growing up does not mean losing imagination, but refining it.
Each week includes:
Guided discussion focused on character development and theme
A “Create + Listen” session where we hear a chapter together
A creative response activity to deepen understanding
Meaningful reflection on how Anne is changing
This class is ideal for students who completed Anne of Green Gables and are ready to continue Anne’s journey with deeper thinking and discussion.
*Having completed book 1 is not necessary as long as students are familiar with Anne from either the novel or movies.*
