Class Experience

What is a short story? What is an Aristotelean Plot Structure? What is a Climax?
These are some of the questions we will answer in this one hour session on understanding Short Stories. We will use some very common stories like "Jack and the Beanstalk" to understand the six parts of a plot structure. 
This class will be directed using the Socratic Seminar method and requires all students to participate and discuss their ideas. 
No homework is assigned and no prior knowledge is needed. An eagerness to participate, ability to read fluently and willingness to discuss ideas is all that is required for a successful class!

Learning Goals

Students will be able to define terms such as Plot, Climax, Resolution, Exposition. Students will also be able to identify these parts of a story.

Other Details

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

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Shaheen and I look forward to meeting you all virtually. I've been teaching language arts and the humanities for over 25 years in public, private and charter schools to elementary, middle and high school students. I also homeschool my own four children, and I am an education consultant for other homeschooling families. My expertise is in teaching the humanities and literature classes for middle and high school aged kids. I offer classes in the Socratic Seminar style for kids as young as 4th graders. Holding an M.S. in Education and a certification in teaching ESL, I am happy to bring the love of learning to your kids. 
My goals, with teaching students, are to make them life long learners and passionate about education. I enjoy teaching poetry, literature, logic and the classics and I hope to pass this love of language on to my students!
