🎶 Two weeks, one 55 minutes class per week
🎶 Class time includes in-class comprehension/discussion questions, a powerpoint lesson, and...Students will use the class text (How Happy is the Little Stone by Emily Dickinson) to learn about the stressed, unstressed, and secondary stresses within words and how to identify them.

🎶 Homework will not be assigned, however, class participation will be necessary! 🎶 Students will be encouraged to share their thoughts throughout. 🎶 Students will be provided with fill-in-the-blank notes to ensure no one gets left behind. 🎶 These notes will be filled in during class. 🎶 The central text will be shared on-screen so no link to 3rd party resources is necessary.
Skeleton notes will be provided (for each lesson)
🎶 Students will be provided fill-in-the-blank notes with short reflection sections that will allow them to individually practice reflection, analysis, and abstract thought. 🎶 These notes will be completed by the end of class (if someone misses blanks in their notes we will spend a short amount of time at the end of class to go back through and make sure everyone gets caught up).
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Printer (for skeleton notes) is useful but not required (notes can be filled out on a computer, but learner will have to switch back and forth between Skype and Word Document, printing the notes will be easiest)
