1-2 horas por semana. Students are evaluated on mastery of learning goals as evidenced by preparation for class and verbal contributions to discussion and debate during class. Students will have the opportunity to contribute at least once during class. Parents will receive monthly feedback, more frequent if necessary, to encourage participation. Verbal participation is required and will be highly supported by facilitator, as needed, until students are comfortable with expressing their ideas with more independence.Certificado de finalización

Lista de útiles escolares
Unsettled by Steven E. Koonin. We wil be referencing and marking the text so I recommend a hard copy of the book, new or used. Available on Amazon approximately $12 USD. There is an expanded version, very new and only available for Kindle or Audible but I will not be referencing this version at this time. The e-book can be used if you are comfortable with bookmarking this version. Handouts with questions and discussion points will be provided weekly.

Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.
Fuentes
Students are encouraged to research websites, publications, or other books that may be used to support their arguments in contradiction to the ideas expressed in the reading. Reliability of sources will be examined as part of the learning process.
