Books provide a glimpse into the life and experiences of people, and books about the lives and experiences of women offer this in a unique way.   The class is a discussion based class, so arrive prepared to TALK on camera (if possible) about your thoughts, opinions, and impressions from the reading for the week.  Supplemental resources such as vocabulary, handouts, graphic organizers, games, videos, music, and audio clips may be used during class to expand the lesson and broaden the conversation about the book.

Our book club will meet EVERY WEEK and discuss the literature with strong females as protagonists at an age-appropriate  level. Students will need to read 1 book for each class, and may drop in or out of the class at any point.  There is not a "beginning", rather join for the books that the student wants to read and discuss and skip the ones that are not of interest. 

There WILL be mature content in many of the books that we read, sensitive students should read the description before beginning the book.

**********PLEASE READ*************
Outschool has recently changed its policy regarding class cancellations. We know how disappointing canceled classes can be for learners, so we too are amending our policy.  In the past we have waited for late enrollees, of which we have had MANY!  Unfortunately we can no longer do that. 

Instead we will evaluate class enrollment for ongoing classes on teach Sunday at 5pm Eastern.  IF enrollment falls below 3 students, we will push the class back a week.  When other sections are available students will have the option to transfer to another class.  Full refunds will be provided for learners who cannot attend the newly scheduled class time.  All other refunds will be provided as per the Outschool Limited Refund policy (see below).  If for any reason the class does not meet your expectation, you have the confidence of knowing that Outschool has a Happiness Guarantee and will provide a refund upon request via their Customer Support. 

Transfer requests within 24 hours of a scheduled class will NOT be approved.  At that point it is too late to reschedule the class, and it is unfair to other families who may have enrolled thinking there were multiple learners enrolled. Instead students will be encouraged to watch the video of the class.
 
Thank you for understanding, and for your loyalty.
