In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Parents should know that this book discusses the "water mafia" in India.  This includes a vague and limited reference to violence and a murder.  Two teen boys in the book are sent to stay with relatives in another town to avoid the mafia.  

Google Docs/Slides:  Google Docs is the way that your child will access their assignments.  These assignments may be: printed out and completed "pen to paper", completed digitally by typing in text boxes on an electronic form of the document, or by creating a google slides presentation.  The response format is up to you and your child and may change each week depending on what feels the most fun, creative and the best use of time.
