Class experience

US Grade 7 - 10
This class is taught in English.
I have been teaching professionally for over 5 years in both Missouri and in Colorado. I have been on Outschool for over two years and can provide links to classes where I teach the concepts of this semester-long class so you can look through them and look at the reviews to see how other parents and students have reacted to my courses. I am happy to answer any questions that you have!

Classic Literature - A Novel Study (A course where students choose the novels we read)
     - In this course, I have taught both epic poems!

Annotations: The Key to Close Reading (Non-Fiction Unit skills)
     - https://outschool.com/classes/annotations-the-key-to-close-reading-uaev8ybk?usid=l0R3fRwf&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link
Homework Offered
Students will be asked to complete all of their reading outside of class. If some of our writing work is unfinished after class, students will be asked to complete that work outside of class as well. But the majority of work will be completed in class.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will have several options for optional activities that include an annotations guide to reading the epic poem, research projects, and optional essay prompts. If parents or students are interested, please feel free to let me know and I will make them available throughout the course of the class!
Grades Offered
Students will need to purchase the novels and have access to the literature pieces with copyrights. The novel was written around 700BC and is therefore out of copyright.  Students can work with the creative commons versions or other free-access versions. These we can access without an issue. All work we complete (the curriculum itself) is developed by me so there is no need to purchase a copyrighted curriculum!

If a link to a specific edition would be helpful, this is the version of the novel that I will be working with:
     - https://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-Homer/dp/0140268863/ref=sr_1_4?crid=37QX0505FZNKX&keywords=the+odyssey&qid=1654487143&s=books&sprefix=the+od%2Cstripbooks%2C143&sr=1-4
