The Dragonling Book Club

Sometimes doing what is right is not what is easy. Four of our younger students are learning about this through the book The Dragonling by Jackie French Koller. Here students try to put themselves in the shoes of the young boy in the book, Darek, who is going against the wishes of his village in order to save the life of a young dragon. Throughout the book, students are asked to reflect on key themes that run through the book such as loyalty and values. Would you be able to go against the norms of society in order to do the right thing? The students try to put themselves into Darek’s shoes by writing diary entries, having group discussions and using this book to make connections to other books, the world and their own lives.
