The fall semester is offered in the fall, and the spring semester is offered in the spring. The fall semester does not need to be taken prior to taking the spring semester.

Students will need to split their computer screen or use another device such as a cell phone or tablet whenever we play a game. All literature that we read will be supplied by me.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Parental guidance suggested. Learners will access a third party platform: Google Docs, gimkit.com/join, and/or Kahoot.it. They do not need an account for Gimkit nor Kahoot. I will give them a code to join our specific game. They will need to join on a different internet tab than the tab they have Outschool or Zoom on, or can join on another device. For Google Docs, when we have writing assignments, each learner will be expected to provide me with a link to their Doc, where they will complete all of their work, so I can view it and provide feedback as needed.
