[HPFGU-OTChatter] Good Discussion Ideas for Harry Potter Class?

[alex fox]

I'm not sure what age group we are talking about, but I had a great idea for a class project! Probably 4th or 3rd grade. A Diagon alley set , where you put the class in groups of two or three, and they make shops. Name them like the shops in the alley. An Owl shop, a Wand shop, a Book shop, Candys , and Jokes! etc... Then they have to come up with inventory lists, samples, and advertisments, just like a real business! They could barter with each other, and have to act like a real business, but the HP concept would keep them more interested than they would be with a normal class. Just my 2 Knuts as a wanna be teacher...

If your school does conflict resolution projects that get the kids engaged in 
looking at problems and issues from perspectives other than their own, then 
the issue of the books being mostly from Harry's perspective might be 
interesting to them. 

You should also look over the list of topics that are going to be presented 
at Nimbus - 2003 (a lot of educators are presenting and attending) - you can 
find the list here: <A HREF="http://www.hp2003.org/nimbuspgmtrack.html">http://www.hp2003.org/nimbuspgmtrack.html</A> - there might 
be some inspirational ideas there, too.
