SUMMARY:Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch
DESCRIPTION:Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch\n\n\n\nby Donald J. Sobol\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\nTBD \n\n\n\n\n\nTime \n\n\n\nTBD \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign Up\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nJoin Now\n\n\n\n\nClubs fill fast — So sign up now! \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDive into the mysterious world of Encyclopedia Brown—where every chapter is a mystery and readers must read closely\, observe every detail\, and think carefully to discover the answer. Each meeting\, we will discuss our theories on the solution to the mystery and the clues we may have missed\, then explore the solution and see how it all came together. The “Case of the Secret Pitch” is Book Two in the series\, but readers don’t have to have read Book One to understand and join in with Book Two—readers can join in at any time! \n\n\n\nWhat Makes This Club Special\n\n\n\nMs. Conley is a professional writer and educator who helps students explore reading on a deeper level through her understanding of how books are written. Throughout the reading of Encyclopedia Brown\, our club will explore the tricks of mystery stories and how authors keep readers in suspense. At the end of each class\, there will be a discussion of the “challenge words” (vocabulary) found in the text\, as well as what to look for next time\, to help students better solve the mystery on their own. By the end of the club\, students should have a better understanding of how to put together small details to see the bigger picture\, have stronger critical thinking skills\, and have new words in their working vocabularies. \n\n\n\nYour Guide\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRobin Conley was born and raised in Michigan\, USA\, and earned a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in English and World Literature from Western Michigan University and a double Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Screenwriting and Genre Fiction from Western Colorado University. She has over ten years’ experience working as a professional writer — including as a technical editor and content creator for businesses on the ground and on the web; as a publications editor for books\, curriculum\, websites\, and more; and as a transcriptionist for film and television\, including work for the Food Network\, HBO\, FX\, and A&E.   \n\n\n\nMs. Conley has also served as a writing contest judge\, and her professional book editing includes ghostwriting for mystery\, romance\, and fantasy novels. As a writing coach\, consultant\, and editor for published novelists\, short story writers\, and award-winning screenwriters\, her students and clients have gone on to win awards and become accomplished in their niches. \n\n\n\nAfter spending a few years in Hollywood working as a writing consultant and editor\, she’s now traveling the world teaching\, editing\, and coaching writers while continuing to develop her own projects for publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Book\n\n\n\nISBN-10 : 0142408891ISBN-13 : 978-0142408896Buy from Bookshop.org\n\n\n\n(From Amazon) Leroy Brown\, aka Encyclopedia Brown\, is Idaville neighborhood’s ten-year-old star detective. A cross-eyed baseball pitch… A missing penknife named Excalibur… Poems that pack a punch… A mysterious kidnapping… And some tall tales that come up short! These are just some of the ten brain-twisting mysteries that Encyclopedia Brown must solve by using his famous computer-like brain. Try to crack the cases along with him–the answers to all the mysteries are found in the back! \n\n\n\nAge Range – Middle Grade (8-12 years old) \n\n\n\n\n\nParental Guidance\n\n\n\nEach chapter is a complete mystery\, perfect for readers who have trouble getting absorbed into longer stories or those who enjoy seeing the story’s hero go on several adventures. Throughout each story\, the importance of observation\, listening\, and looking at the big picture instead of jumping to conclusions is emphasized as the key to Encyclopedia Brown’s success. The crimes throughout the story are generally non-violent and usually involve theft\, neighborhood disputes\, or recovering lost items. Encyclopedia Brown is an honorable hero who always exhibits honesty\, respect\, and a passion for doing what’s right. \n\n\n\nParents must attend with all students ages 13 and under. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReading Schedule\n\n\n\nJune 14 Discussion – Chapters 1\, 2\, and 3June 21 Discussion – Chapters 4\, 5\, 6\, and 7June 28 Discussion – Chapters 8\, 9\, and 10\n\n\n\n\n\nHow To Begin\n\n\n\nIt’s easy!
