This class will cover CCSS goals in Literature, Informational Text, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language. We will be covering the concept of anthologies, assessing textual evidence for contest, developing a central idea and character development, and produce a grade-level writing piece. While reading "Ancestor Approved", multimodal elements will be provided for students to dig deeper into their own learning including articles, discussion posts, videos, and activities. We will meet once a week for lecture and students are free to learn at their own pace during the week. Student grading and assessment is available upon request, as well as any needed writing support during the class.
