Homework Offered
Students will be required to read the assigned short stories outside of class to prepare for discussion. The readings are short, between 20-30 minutes at most.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will be giving verbal feedback throughout the class, but when it comes to the characterization essay, I will be providing written feedback as well. If parents wish to have a letter grade at the end of the course, I will design a rubric for grading and provide that at a parent's request!Grades Offered
