This will be an intensive one-week-long course, so with that being said, there will be multiple assignments. One way to think about the class is by day. Each day will have a lecture and supplemental assignments relating to this. While the class is designed as one week, taking longer is acceptable. 

All students will present their final projects under the assignment tab or, at the very least, within one week of the conclusion of the class and will receive a certificate of completion after the final project has been turned in.

Possible external sources could include Nearpod for lesson content, unlisted YouTube videos from the teacher, Flipgrid for interactive video assignments, Blooket for quizzes, Activity Learn for assignments, etc. Students are not required to have accounts. They will be provided links and then we'll complete the tasks. These tasks are for the lesson, comprehension, and interaction. 

We will use different methods of interaction between the student and the teacher. These methods will include the classroom, Nearpod, Google Docs, and other relatable resources that would be beneficial each week. For example, students will be able to upload their weekly writing with Google Docs and the teacher can help with revisions, ideas, grammar, spelling, comments, etc. Another example would be using Nearpod where students can complete polls, quizzes, and slides to interact with the teacher. 

The assignments will not require materials outside of the normal, paper, pencil, pen, markers, poster board, etc. However, assignments may be completed digitally, as well.
