Homework Offered
Homework will include key word outlines, writing assignments, style worksheets, and brief reading assignments. Reading assignments can be read independently or be read to them. Writing assignments may be hand-written or typed. All writing assignments should be double-spaced to allow better readability and room for editing.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will offer written feedback and editing of submitted assignments. I will use the checklist given in the book to guide my feedback. I do not offer letter or number grades. In order for the assignments to be evaluated, they must be either typed or very neatly handwritten. The files should be uploaded in a direct Outschool message to me rather than posted on the main classroom page. Photos of handwritten work may be submitted provided the photos are oriented in the correct direction, taken from directly above, and fill the frame of the picture. If I cannot read it, I will ask for a different file to be uploaded. All submitted assignments must be double-spaced.Grades Offered
