Homework
Frequency: includedFeedback: includedDetails: Students need to come prepared for class with their topic, main ideas, and details ready to go. If a student is not finished with the essay, they can finish at home and feedback will be given on the finished essay, however I have found most do best if they work in class. Students can take more than one week per essay if needed. If assistance is needed student can message the teacher. If parents want the students to work outside of class, they can let me know.Assessment
Frequency: includedDetails: Teacher will provide feedback on writing. This is done during class as they are writing or done with editing comments on the paper.
The class uses google docs as we construct the essays, this is very helpful for those with learning differences. Every student works at their own pace. I can work with the family on how to help specific needs.
Students need to be able to type on a google doc. I DO NOT allow handwritten essays. The essays are 6 paragraphs long, so they need to have ideas for 4 main ideas and details.
3 files available upon enrollmentStudents will need to have ideas described above ready to go. It is important for each student to have ability to type and share during the class, so sharing a device for this class will not work.
