Miss Roxy has been working with middle grade learners for 10 years.

Students will read one graphic novel per week

Students will need to acquire their own copies of the assigned books. The teacher will keep the list current so that students have at least a month to get each book.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Flipgrid

40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

I believe students should be free to read what is enjoyable to them, however it is important that for the purposes of this class we keep the book discussions to middle grade or children's literature. Middle grade literature is written for ages 8-12. In this class, we will avoid discussing Young Adult Literature that is written for ages 12-18.
Middle grade fiction generally contains:
-No profanity or graphic violence
-Romance that is limited to crushes and first kisses
-Protagonists that are under 13
-Themes such as coming of age, dealing with bullies, forming lasting friendships
Parents are advised to play an active role in your child's reading life and be aware of their book choices. Common Sense Media is a great source to get information about books. 

Flipgrid will be used as an optional resource to respond to the books each week. Flipgrid is a kid friendly platform for students to record video responses. This class will have it's own private flipgrid channel that can only be viewed by other learners in the class. All posts will be moderated by the teacher.
