The only homework may come about if we are behind in our shared reading due to lively discussion. This may mean a small bit of independent reading, but generally not more than a chapter or two per week.
Each student will need to have a copy of Kate DiCamillo's The Tale of Despereaux at every class meeting. The book can be bought or borrowed and can be paper or electronic. Please note: There is a novelization of the movie that goes under the same name as the original novel. Make sure to get the novel by Kate DiCamillo.
1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
