Class

What's included

12 live meetings
10 in-class hours
Homework
1-2 hours per week. Students will be required to complete unfinished class assignments for homework. Multiple stories will be read, outlined, and rewritten with stylistic techniques. The final assignment must be typed double spaced time New Roman #12 font. Amount of time spent writing and rewriting a story will depend on the student. However, I estimate 1-2 hours a week working on a composition. Assignments are to be emailed to the teacher 2 days before class by 5pm CST.
Assessment
Assessment of students assignments will consist of randomly selected compositions which will be reviewed by the teacher. The IEW composition checklist and/or six trait assessment for compositions will be utilized to evaluate student selected compositions. Letter grades will be provided for compositions selected for evaluation.
Letter Grade
** If the parents of high school students would like an end of semester grade, please state so in a private email to the teacher. Grades will be provided for each semester per parent request.
