1-2 horas por semana. Homework assignments may include writing exercises, reflection prompts, reading assignments, and peer feedback tasks. These assignments will vary in format to cater to different learning styles and to encourage students to engage with the material in meaningful ways. Homework will typically be assigned after each session, providing students with ample time to complete tasks and reflect on their learning between classes. Assignments may range from short writing prompts to longer creative projects, with deadlines set to coincide with the next class session. Homework assignments will be reviewed by the instructor to provide feedback and support students in their learning journey. While assignments may not be graded for correctness in the traditional sense, feedback will focus on strengths, areas for improvement, and opportunities for further exploration. All homework assignments are considered integral to the learning experience and are therefore required for all students. Engaging with the assigned tasks outside of class will help reinforce learning objectives, deepen understanding, and contribute to students' growth as writers.Evaluación
Assessments primarily consist of formative assessments, which focus on providing ongoing feedback and opportunities for students to practice and refine their writing skills. These may include in-class writing exercises, personal feedback from me, peer feedback sessions, group discussions, and creative projects. Formative assessments are offered regularly throughout the workshop, allowing students to engage with the material in a variety of ways and receive feedback from both the instructor and their peers. These assessments are integrated into class sessions to provide immediate support and encouragement. Formative assessments, such as writing exercises and peer feedback sessions, are conducted during class sessions to encourage collaboration, discussion, and creativity. Students have the opportunity to share their work, receive constructive feedback, and learn from their peers in a supportive environment. In keeping with the workshop's emphasis on creative expression and exploration, there are no final essays or rigid summative assessments. Instead, students are encouraged to showcase their learning and growth through their poetry portfolios, which may include a selection of their best work created throughout the workshop. While assessments are an important aspect of the learning process, they are not intended to be strict or punitive. Students are encouraged to engage with assessments at their own pace and to approach them with curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to learn and grow as poets.Experiencia de clase

Class Description: Welcome to the "Exploring Narrative Poetry: Identity, Memory, and Self-Expression" workshop! In this dynamic 6-week course, your teen will embark on a poetic journey delving into the art of narrative poetry. Led by an experienced educator passionate about fostering creativity and self-expression, this workshop is designed to empower teens to craft their own narrative poems while exploring themes of identity, memory, and self-expression. What will be taught? Students will learn the fundamentals of narrative poetry, including elements such as plot, character development, setting, and imagery. They will explore various poetic techniques such as personification and sensory imagery to enhance their writing. Additionally, students will engage in self-reflection and exploration of their own identities and memories, using poetry as a medium for self-expression. Class Structure Each week, students will participate in two engaging sessions, each lasting 55 minutes. Sessions will be structured around interactive discussions, reading and analysis of contemporary poems, writing exercises, peer sharing and feedback sessions, and reflection activities. The curriculum is carefully designed to scaffold learning and build upon previous lessons, culminating in the creation of original narrative poems by the end of the workshop. Teaching Style As an educator, I believe in creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves creatively. My teaching style is student-centered and interactive, incorporating a blend of direct instruction, guided practice, and collaborative activities. I strive to foster a love for poetry and inspire students to explore their own unique voices through writing. How much will learners get to interact with me and each other? Students will have ample opportunities to interact with both myself and their peers throughout the workshop. Sessions will include a mix of lecture-style instruction, group discussions, writing activities, and peer-sharing sessions. By actively participating in these interactions, students will enhance their understanding of narrative poetry and develop valuable writing skills in a collaborative and supportive community.

Orientación para padres
The class content in "Exploring Narrative Poetry: Identity, Memory, and Self-Expression" primarily focuses on personal reflection, creative expression, and literary analysis. However, it's important to note that some poetry and discussions may touch upon themes such as identity, memory, and emotions, which could potentially be upsetting or triggering for some learners.
For example, discussions about personal experiences or memories may evoke strong emotions or memories for some students. Additionally, certain poems or writing prompts may explore themes of trauma, loss, or difficult life experiences, which could be distressing for sensitive individuals.
To ensure a safe and supportive learning environment, I will provide trigger warnings before discussing potentially sensitive topics or poems. I will also encourage students to approach these discussions with sensitivity and respect for their peers' experiences. Additionally, I will be available to offer support and guidance to any students who may find certain topics challenging.
Media content used in the class, such as poems or videos, will be carefully selected to align with the age-appropriate rating guidelines and to avoid any content that may be excessively graphic or disturbing. All media content will be rated suitable for teens or younger audiences.
No third-party tools requiring additional safety precautions or accounts will be used in this workshop. All class activities and discussions will take place within a secure and moderated online classroom environment provided by Outschool, where student privacy and safety are prioritized.
Overall, the goal is to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel comfortable expressing themselves creatively while also respecting each other's boundaries and emotional well-being.
