We will offer teacher and student feedback.  Students will work heavily with teacher as well as their peers while creating their writings.  All of our writing and English studies will be heavily discussion based.  Students will work on writing in and out of class.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
This book contains violence. Parents should be well understood about this book before signing up. I have adjusted this age range to represent the content. If you sign up a younger learner PLEASE read about this book first. Holes” has some rough language in parts and some of the violence will be too strong for young children. Dove rates the family curse elements of this film with a 2 under “Other” because some of the depictions could be construed as spell casting, or sorcery. But, it could also be dismissed as mere superstition.
