0Students should have access to a word processing program (such as Word or Google Docs) or have a notebook/paper and writing implements ready at the beginning of class. I encourage the use of a word processing program for ease of sharing. 

Content of prompts will be age-appropriate, and students will be reminded each week to warn for any gory or disturbing content, but experience has shown me that even benign prompts sometimes result in intense writing that may contain gore or other frightening elements. Please be realistic in your assessment of your learner's comfort level with horror. 

As with any horror writing class, parents should be aware that some students find certain content more frightening or disturbing. If your student has particular fears or phobias, I encouraged you to reach out to me with them and I will avoid those topics in prompts. I cannot guarantee that students in the class won't touch on these topics in their writing, however, so please be available to provide support to your student as needed. 

Submitting plagiarized or AI-generated/enhanced work will not be tolerated. Work should be original and written exclusively by the learner.
