Assignments
Frequency: 1-2 per weekFeedback: available upon requestDetails:Letter Grade
Frequency: 1 after class completionDetails:
The students can use either a laptop or tablet to write their stories with. If they want to use paper that is fine. However, all assignments must be emailed to me so that they may be graded and to ensure that the students have completed their work. If they choose to write it on paper and screen shot their work I will take that as well as long as the picture is clear.
