Class Experience

**If you don't see a suitable section, please feel free to request a time that works for you!**
Calling all learners who are beginning their research journey, this class is for you. Research is something we do daily, whether it's picking out the next YouTube video, finding a yummy place to eat at, or looking up the weather for the day. What if we want to convince somebody why this videogame is the best in the world? We need to be able to persuade them by using research!

This class is...

Students will learn how to research and write a research essay from start to finish.

I have taken many research courses, have expertise in research writing, and have peer tutored many different levels of students in research writing.

Learners will need to complete the weekly goals outside of each class session. These will be posted in the classroom ahead of time so students know what to expect. There will be checkpoints for students to submit portions of their essay to receive detailed feedback about their essays. Students should expect about 1 hour of work each week outside of class meetings.

Paper and pencil each session for notes, and a way for them to type and submit their essays as Google docs, doc.x, or PDFs.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:Google Docs
Google Slides

Written and verbal feedback on essays and checkpoint assignments. Final essay will receive written feedback

50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.

Students will select their own topics. I will make sure that topics are age appropriate and that sources used are also age appropriate. Students will need access and parental consent to google slides and google docs outside of class meetings.
