Parental Guidance
DUE TO THE POPULARITY OF THIS CLASS AND THE FACT THAT I READ EVERY WORD OF THE ESSAY YOUR LEARNER WRITES, I AM LIMITING THIS CLASS TO 4 LEARNERS AT A TIME. MORE THAN FOUR LEARNERS MAKES THIS CLASS A NIGHTMARE TO GRADE AND A NIGHTMARE TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK TO EVERYONE IN A TIMELY MANNER.
Supply List
Essay prompts for each type of essay will be provided in class. The instructor prefers the essays to be submitted with MS Word or Apple Pages, but will except Google Docs in some situations.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
