Homework
Frequency: includedFeedback: includedDetails: Every class time will provide clear step by step directions and instructions for students to do the writing assignments in between meetings. Learners will be writing much of their stories as homework, but guidance will always be available from me whenever there are questions or help is needed. As with anything in life, learners will get more out of their experience with a solid effort and some extra time put into their work!Assessment
Frequency: includedDetails: Assessment will be ongoing throughout each class. As we engage in the writing activities I will be asking various questions which will determine learner comprehension and engagement. Adjustments and communication will be made when needed to ensure each learner is reaching the above learning goals.
Learners need a workspace to do their writing, be that a designated desk in the home office, the kitchen table, or a quiet bedroom. Writing may be done on computer, iPad, or whatever device allows for saving and sending the writing electronically. If learners prefer pen and paper writing, that is wonderful too! Scanned images or phone pics taken of the writing are acceptable when sharing is required.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
