This class is taught in English.
Please note that some Taylor Swift songs do contain mature themes or language. In this class, we will always defer to the album version of the song (which may have expletives) rather than radio edits (which generally do not have expletives). We also may compare and contrast the album version feels compared to the radio edit, diving deep into how the use of expletives effects the impact of the song. Below are my general classroom rules and policies. These will also be explained to students when we begin class! -For everyone's safety, and to ensure an engaging and social experience, students are required to have working microphones and video for the entirety of this class, positioned such that we can both hear and see them. Please be sure to prepare your student for this requirement before class begins! -Students are asked not to use filters or virtual backgrounds-- though if there is an important reason to use a virtual background, please just let me know ahead of time that your student will be using one (no questions asked!). -Students will be asked to introduce themselves by sharing their name, pronoun, and a favorite book. -The Zoom text chat is set to "host only", meaning students can chat with me, but not to one another or the entire classroom.
