Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
A writer's planning notebook (PDF copy) will be provided to students for use throughout the class. Students should come to class prepared to write with appropriate supplies to do so.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
We will be using Google Forms and Google Docs. Google Forms is a one time use where students will complete 18 survey questions to determine what type of writer they are. This will be completed live in class. Google Docs will be used as we begin the writing process so that students can share their writing with me and I can provide feedback. We will also be accessing the Wolds Without End website to discuss genre as indicated in the "Sources" section of the class description.
We will be referring to the Worlds Without End website, the "genre" section during a live class and students will be encouraged to review it in their own time. This is so that we can discuss the genre for their novel and provide clear understanding in order for students to clearly identify the genre of their novel. This is located at: http://www.worldswithoutend.com/resources_sub-genres.asp
