Class Experience

In this course, learners will read a few chapters of The Unteachables by Gordon Korman before each class discussion. When we meet we will discuss the book and write/draw about it.  (This isn't an art class; drawing just helps increase understanding and thinking.) The class will consist of conversational discussions where everyone's opinions and thoughts are valued.  Learners will also share their writing/drawing with the group.

*The Unteachables by Gordon Korman.  This book was published in 2019, so copies should be readily available from a seller or library.

There are occasional phrases like: "My God!" Pee, poop, butt, and barf references. These are said in humorous ways. One student has anger issues and kicks lockers and stomps around.
