General Info: This class is ongoing but set up as a semester-long content class, meaning we will cover a full year of content topics in the given weeks listed. Continue reading for all the info you need. Please find all content and topics in the syllabus. There are 18 weeks of content and then I recommend continuing with my 20-week course in Literature for a full-year curriculum of English Literature. To know which week we are on, please, check the syllabus. Hop in, join in any week, and jump into the topic. Content does not necessarily build, but flows in an organizational manner that makes sense for covering topics. If you want the previous weeks' folders, I will be glad to send those to you upon request If you wish to catch earlier topics, sessions always restart on new days at times at the beginning of a new semester, usually August and January. About the Teacher: I am a certified teacher in various topics, which I teach on Outschool, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree and two Master’s degrees, one in Teaching. I also majored in English. I strive to align my classes with state standards and GED topics. Each week, your student will see a topic they need to master. About this Class: This class is geared towards high school (Grades 9-12 are ideal depending on the level of your student). Each week we cover a new topic using a variety of learning tools and methods for all styles of learners: discussion, lecture, trivia, videos, and more! Some weeks we practice the skills we learn in class, and others we cover more content. Following class each week, I will put a message in the Outschool classroom with a link to a Google folder where I provide my notes from class, resources, and plenty of activities for you to use on the topic. I also link videos in the message for further coverage of topics. Click the “Show More” button on the message to access it. Grading: I do provide an overall grade for the class as a full semester/year class style, but I require at least 2 activities to be turned in weekly to me to grade. Some documents have answer pages, so you can go through the work before submitting, but if there is not an answer page provided, I will grade the work. Remember, work is not required, but if you desire a grade, I have to see your student’s work so please let me know when you enroll if you desire a grade for each week and the end of class. I will also provide fill-in-the-blank notes for your student to have each week if they want to follow along and take notes during class, plenty of weekly work, assessments, and more in the weekly folder. e notes during class. Helpful Information 1. This class is structured for 9th-12th grade. My goal is to have students enroll and stay in the class for the full listed count of weeks so they get all the topics they need. 2. Please let your student know I often have a lot to cover. I will ask questions and they are welcome to comment, but please keep questions and comments directed to the topic we are covering, and I require them to raise their hands to speak. Refund and Pause Policy: 1. If a makeup class is set by me due to a change on my end, you will not receive a refund. You can access recordings and all resources. 2. If you must miss class, you must ask for a refund 48 hours before the class meeting. If you ask on the day of class or after, no refund will be given.
