Learners should have access to a writing program such as Google Docs or Word, or should come with paper/notebook and a writing implement. 

I often jokingly refer to the Warriors series as "Game of Thrones for children," but it's not entirely off the mark. The Warriors books contain violence, character death, forbidden romances, and other common tropes of fantasy genre literature. Original character backstories may also contain sad or violent elements. Works from students may include characters from diverse backgrounds, such as LGBTQ+, disabled, neurodiverse, and other marginalized groups. If your student is particularly sensitive to a specific topic, please let me know in advance and I will strive to create a safe environment for them. 

Please be aware that I will not accept plagiarized or AI-generated work. "Plagiarized work" refers to the use of text in part or in full written by another writer. "AI-generated work" refers to any writing generated via any large language model (LLM) such as ChatGPT. LLMs are built using the scraped date of others' work, and the use of LLM does not teach or enhance writing or editing skills. Learners submitted plagiarized or identifiably AI-generated work will be given a warning, and then withdrawn from the class on a second offense.
