January 16th – (America put the “Prohibition Amendment” into effect in 1919)
To prohibit something is to forbid it, or to make it illegal. In 1917, in Amendment 18, the United States decided that the negative effects of alcohol were so dangerous that is should be illegal. The Amendment when into effect in 1919. The intention of the amendment was to protect people from the dangers of alcohol. Unfortunately, it had the effect of making organized crime very wealthy through the illegal sale of alcohol. In 1933, Prohibition was repealed with the 21st Amendment. If you could make something that is legal become illegal, what would it be? How would you enforce the law?January 22nd – (National Mentoring Month is January)

Describe how you’d be a good mentor.Whether you are an educator or a homeschooling parent, you probably know that the hardest part of writing is often just getting started.

About the book: The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses is an 1888 novel and is both an historical adventure novel and a romance novel. The Black Arrow tells the story of Richard (Dick) Shelton during the Wars of the Roses: how he becomes a knight, rescues his lady Joanna Sedley, and obtains justice for the murder of his father, Sir Harry Shelton. Outlaws in Tunstall Forest organised by Ellis Duckworth, whose weapon and calling card is a black arrow, cause Dick to suspect that his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and his retainers are responsible for his father’s murder. Dick’s suspicions are enough to turn Sir Daniel against him, so he has no recourse but to escape from Sir Daniel and join the outlaws of the Black Arrow against him. This struggle sweeps him up into the greater conflict surrounding them all.About the Author: Robert Louis Stevenson (13 November 1850 – 3 December 1894) was a Scottish novelist and travel writer, most noted for Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and A Child’s Garden of Verses.

About the book: A literary classic that wasn’t recognized for its merits until decades after its publication, Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick tells the tale of a whaling ship and its crew, who are carried progressively further out to sea by the fiery Captain Ahab. Obsessed with killing the massive whale, which had previously bitten off Ahab’s leg, the seasoned seafarer steers his ship to confront the creature, while the rest of the shipmates, including the young narrator, Ishmael, and the harpoon expert, Queequeg, must contend with their increasingly dire journey. The book invariably lands on any short list of the greatest American novels.Interest Level Reading Level Grades 9 – 12 Grades 9 – 11 -
