1 file available upon enrollmentStudents will be provided with both a digital and printable writing notebook. They can use either version or a combination of the two. Students will need to have a Gmail account to access the digital version of the notebook. Student writing needs to be typed in the notebook provided (preferred) or submitted using PowerPoint, Word, or a pdf format so that I can easily give feedback and they can easily revise and edit their work. If students would like feedback on the work in the paper packet, they may take pictures and submit them to me through the Outschool message system. I've provided videos for students who would like to use the digital version but would like some extra instruction to get started.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
I will provide all needed materials for this course.
