Students will learn about key authors, historical periods, and prevalent themes in the development of science fiction in both literature and other media. Students will explore their own interests in the realm of SF.

I am eager to have your learner join the students from 5-50 to whom I have taught English. Although my original BA is in Psychology, I have taught both ESL and English at three different Universities abroad.  I love students and I love literature. I am eager to help North American students get a worldwide perspective on literature drawing from my own experiences as a reader and a traveler. 

Homework Offered
Homework will be assigned weekly. Students will need to read, watch or listen to material for each lesson BEFORE viewing the pre-recorded video. Students will also frequently have shorter essays or stories to write to show their understanding of the week's material. Students will also be responsible for doing class discussion as either a video or a 1 paragraph essay and reading/commenting on other students work.  Students will be completing a final project in one of the media we have studied (for instance they might write a short story, an essay, record a reflective video, or tape a short movie).
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Learner progress is assessed through successful completion of their homework (40%), participation in online discussions (writing/videoing and commenting) (30%),  and their final project (30%).
Grades Offered

Students will need to use Google Docs to access their homework.
