Class Experience

*THIS IS AN INTRO TO THE KEYWORD SUMMARY FORMAT*

Students will write all about Minecraft!  They will write a simple paragraph using a keyword summary.
First, they will read a passage about Minecraft and discuss the many interesting facts about it.  Then they will create a keyword summary for each sentence (each student will have a turn choosing keywords).  

Later, we will collaboratively create a paragraph using the keywords from the outline (each student will contribute a sentence).  The use of synonyms, adjectives and details will be encouraged.  The teacher will type out the paragraph and post it in the classroom by the end of the day (Pacific Standard Time) for each student to print out. 

*PARENTS PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PRIOR TO REGISTRATION*

Please note that I am NOT always able to check messages from parents during class time.  I will do my best to get back to parents as soon as I'm able to.  However, I normally teach 6-7 classes per day and my schedule does not permit me to always be available to check the messages.  
Your understanding is greatly appreciated. :)

REFUNDS
All my classes operate under the 'LIMITED' refund policy. 
Learners can withdraw with a refund up to ONE WEEK before class starts, or within 24 hours of purchase. Refunds are NOT given for withdraws outside this window.
No shows and/or missed classes (intentionally or not), are NOT entitled to a refund.  A recording of the class will be posted in the classroom after the session is completed for your reference.

LATE STUDENTS
If your child joins a class late, please advise I will do my best to bring the late student up to speed. However, I will not re-teach missed portions of the class. Students will have access to the class recording to view the missed portion of the class.

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS
Prior to the class commencing, I will announce my class expectations which include:
~ no using the chat box for student to student messages
~ the chat box is meant for students whose audio is not working
~ the chat box is meant for private messages to me if student wishes not to share with the class
~ absolutely NO drawing and writing on the screen I am teaching on (the student will be reminded of this and after the 2nd offence, they will be asked to leave the class) unless I invite them to answer a question and/or highlight a keyword
~ any disrespectful behaviour will result in the student being asked to leave the class 

There is NO DISCOUNT issued for siblings and/or the registration of multiple classes.
Learning Goals
Students will be introduced to keyword summaries and the practice of creating a new paragraph using their own words (this is done collaboratively).  They will be encouraged to use synonyms and added details.
