Assessment
The teacher will not provide a letter or number grade. Instead, the teacher will offer curated edits for each student.

Class Experience

In this 4-week online course, students will be given 1-2 writing prompts per week to work on in exchange for teacher feedback on their writing. Students will need to offer 3-5 contributions for each discussion thread. The teacher will provide feedback for all of the writing assignments from the previous week by the Monday following each week. 

*Please note that this course does not involve live video meetings. However, I am open to trying to schedule one fifteen minute video session with your child, so that your child can meet me. Please let me know if this is of interest to you.*

Learning Goals

Students will learn to accept positive feedback and constructive feedback in stride. They will learn to take pride in their writing and in the editing process.
