If any homework is assigned the assignment will be a fun 5 to 30 minute project to be done by themselves and submitted through messages on Outschool If there is more than one student in the class and if I have time we will play Kahoot.
A handout for each lesson with be provided. All learner needs is to print it and use a pencil to fill in blacks. However, I know that ink is expensive the handout is optional
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
3 hours per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Greek myths can get messy and while I will try to censor most of the stories there are some subjects I can not get around such as: Murder Death/ Suicide Gore Implied sexual situations
