Description
Class Experience
As each meeting is based on certain chapters from the novel, please do not read ahead. I know that can be difficult but knowing too much about the book will change the experience for everybody. Thank you. 1. Prior to the first meeting, please read chapters one through the end of five. 2. For the second meeting, please read chapters six through the end of nine. 3. For the third meeting, please read chapters 10 through the end of chapter 15. 4. For the fourth, and final meeting, please read chapters to the end of the book.
A copy of the book Hope Was Here by Joan Bauer prior to the first meeting so the first assignment can be completed. Please also have some paper and pens or pencils available each class. Any type of paper will do as long as it is 8 1/2 x 11 or so.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
There will not be assessments for this reading program. It’s my expectation that students will join discussions and activities on their comfort level and as we build community, confidence will follow and more participation will naturally Of course, excellent behavior and choices are always expected from all participants. No one is allowed to slow down the learning and fun of other students. Thank you.
1 hour 40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 2 - 4 hours per week outside of class.
