Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Assignments and tests will be used to assess the learner. A grade report will be issued at the end of the class for those who would like one.
50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
There are deaths in two of the plays. The deaths are not graphic. In Death of a Salesman, Willy Loman leaves in a rush and is involved in a car accident. The inference is that he committed suicide, but it is never actually mentioned. In Our Town, Emily dies during childbirth.
