General Info:
This class is ongoing but set up full course in Literature, meaning we will cover a full year of content topics in the given weeks listed. Continue reading for all the info you need. 

There are 18 weeks of content, meant to cover a year's worth of Literature. Hop in, join in any week, and jump into the topic.  If you want the previous weeks' folders, I will be glad to send those to you upon request. If you wish to catch earlier topics, sessions always restart on new days at times at the beginning of a new semester, usually August and January. 

About the Teacher:
I am a certified teacher in various topics, which I teach on Outschool, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree and two Master’s degrees. I strive to align my classes with state standards and GED topics. Each week, your student will see a topic they need to master. 

About this Class: 
This class is geared towards late Middle School to early High School. Each week we cover a new topic using a variety of learning tools and methods for all styles of learners. Students must fully read the work to participate in discussion the next week. I have listed ALL READING MATERIAL at the bottom, and you can find the order of it in the syllabus. Students can read ahead, and I would recommend it to ensure they finish the content before the class on it. 

Classes range from 45 minutes to 55 inutes each week, depending on the content. I mapped out a full hour to be safe in having time to discuss works accordingly. 

Following class each week, I will put a message in the Outschool classroom with a link to a Google folder where I provide my notes from class, resources, and plenty of activities for you to use on the topic. I also link videos in the message for further coverage of topics. Click the “Show More” button on the message to access it. Class has a lecture base style with a mix of questions, discussion, videos, but a lot of content. Some weeks we practice the skills we learn, and others we cover more content. 

Grading:
I do provide an overall grade for the class as a full semester/year class style, but I require at least 2 activities to be turned in weekly to me to grade. Some documents have answer pages, so you can go through the work before submitting, but if there is not an answer page provided, I will grade the work. Remember, work is not required, but if you desire a grade, I have to see your student’s work. I will also provide fill-in-the-blank notes for your student to have each week if they want to follow along and take notes during class.

Helpful Information
1. This class is structured for 7th-11th or higher. My goal is to have students enroll and stay in the class for the full listed count of weeks so they get all the topics they need. 
2. Please let your student know if they want to speak or discuss topics, to raise their hands so I can call on them.
