Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Informal assessment during classGrades Offered
A notebook or paper and something to write with, or a device to use for writing and note-taking. A small whiteboard may be handy but by no means necessary.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Content is age appropriate
External sources will not be used in class. Knowledge of the subject comes from years of study, teaching and a probably slightly unhealthy addiction to being exposed to the Empire in Star Wars too many times.
