Homework Offered
Students will be assigned weekly homework, unit projects, and periodical writing assignments. The majority of the homework in this course will be will be watching films, completing comprehension packets as they do, including comprehension questions, vocabulary, and analytical and discussion questions. During each trimester, students will be assigned two creative projects, including one creative book report project. While this course will primarily use film as opposed to texts, students will still be required to read two books during each trimester. Students may choose to read the books instead of watching the films if they wish, but our focus will typically be on the films, with occassional excerpts from the original work. Additional activities may also be assigned. As a grade 5 and 6 reading/ELA class, writing will be included, but in minimal form.2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Basic art supplies will be needed to complete the projects (eg glue, scissors, cardboard, etc.). Projects will be assigned during the second week of the trimester and due the final week, allowing ample time for students and parents to determine and acquire needed items. In addition, some common items (in most houses) will also be needed for some of the critical thinking exercises. A list of these items shall be provided a minimum of one week in advance (eg: deck of cards, dice, toothpicks). Every effort is made to keep supplies at a minimal cost. With any of the above, should a student claim to "need" something that seems high priced, please confirm with me before buying. Students/parents are required to purchase or acquire their own access to the following: Books: “The Count of Monte Cristo” (Great Illustrated Classics Version) AND “Mighty Marvel Masterworks: The Justice League Vol 1” Films: “Robin Hood,” “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” “Huck Finn,” and additional “student choice” films from list to be provided.
All required books and films in this course are generally approved for ages 8-12; however, individual sensibilities may vary and parents are always advised to preview materials. In addition to required films and books, students will also be provided book lists for their book reports and suggested viewing lists with each trimester. Be aware, that some material on these "student choice" lists may be better suited for ages 11-14, and may contain a PG-13 rating or similar. Books and films will be discussed through literary analysis and not the allegory. Some books may contain Racism, racial slurs, stereotypes, cultural inaccuracies, harmful and inaccurate descriptions of Natives, or viewed to be told from a biased perspective.
