I have an MFA in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults. I was a substitute teacher for three years before teaching full-time on Outschool. I also teach English Composition as an adjunct university professor. I have been blessed to discuss Leigh Bardugo in the classroom multiple times. She is an excellent storyteller and world builder. She creates dark and tragic magical worlds that I feel honored to share with students! Her books offer an excellent opportunity to discuss this immersive and sinister world. Since this world is based off of Russian folklore, there is so much to be learned from this series, especially for students who love reading historical fiction or have any interest in creative writing. This book particularly leads to good discussion about politics and power, right and wrong, and good versus evil.  
Homework Offered
Students will read approximately three chapters a week on their own time. Each Sunday, students will have access to the new video and a corresponding one page worksheet with discussion questions and places for fill-in-the blank answers. Each week, I assign a short writing assignment focused around that week's discussion questions and ask the students to share their responses in the classroom. There are also daily activities each day like vocabulary words, an I Spy game, and a Kahoot! quiz to test their comprehension from the weekly chapters.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
The more questions, comments, and posts that students share in the classroom, the more I can understand their knowledge and comprehension of the topics we are discussing.
Grades Offered
Students will need a copy of Ruin and Rising to read on their own. It can be borrowed from the library or even listened to as an audio book. The students will not need a physical copy of the story in class, although they may find it helpful to have while filling out their worksheets or working on their writing assignment. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
According to Commonsensemedia.org: Parents need to know that Ruin and Rising is the third book in the The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo. It continues the story of Alina searching for the amplifiers that give her power and defeating the Dark One. There's hand-to-hand combat with weapons and magic, and characters are injured and killed. Strong language is limited to "damn" and "ass." There's romance and kissing, and, in a brief sex scene, the kissing is more described than the sex.
