Students will work through the process of writing a book. Students will learn to give and receive structured, respectful and constructive feedback. Students will consider and practice aspects of writing such as creating compelling stories and characters, describing settings, writing dialogue, and more (please see weekly themes above).
Homework Offered
Homework: Learners will write each week and receive feedback on the portions of their writing they choose to upload each week. Students should upload at least one paragraph, but are encouraged to upload more. The amount of time this takes will differ for each individual learner. Learners will be writing individually but will be offering structured feedback to other learners each week on the classroom page. Learners will be completing their main project (writing a book) individually. Occasionally we may do a short group writing project as a warmup during the live sessions, as it is a great way to get to know each other and find inspiration for new characters and settings.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Students will need a notebook or computer for writing assignments, and will need to be able to upload their writing to the class page between sessions.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
