Learning Needs
All unique learning learners are welcomed!!! I can arrange the class with slower pacing or offer 1:1 classes for students that need a extra help!
Parental Guidance
Most of the content is safe for all learners. However, some content like Shakespeare and the Greek plays have violence ( swords, Knives, poison )and may show blood. Also, with some of the more current shows there maybe some harsh language and tones. ( for example Hamilton uses adult language and mentions suicide) I will issue a warning before I show these things in class!
Supply List
Handouts will be provided. However, Students will need a notebook, and a computer, camera to record Monologues.
