When students sign up, they will be given a link to that session that they can attend for extra homework help and instructor-guidance on papers and reading CLASS-MEETINGS • Analysis Question Discussion: Questions will be provided at the end of each class that correlate with the assigned reading. Questions assigned will be discussed in-class during the following session. While perspectives of the instructor might be added, this section of class is mainly about facilitating conversation, protecting think-time, and posing questions that provoke deeper thought based on the central text and questions provided. That said, this is about student-to-student interaction. • Interactive Unit-Based Lecture (for example, comprehending poetry, writing a five-paragraph biographical essay, etc) • Since The Lord of the Rings revolves around an expansive (and beautifully complicated) fictional universe, a presentation of original resources that enrich the reading of the novel (maps / diagrams / explanations of the lore) may be presented TEACHING STYLE • I want my students to LOVE to read and learn. If this is accomplished, I feel like I have prepared them for their future more than any singular book or ELA lesson could! • I want my students to participate. This means that there is time built into every class where they can ask questions and converse with each other and I am merely there to pose the conversation-starter (if needed) and facilitate. • I have "lectures" but even those include time within for students to share their thoughts! • While students will be challenged to think deeply, their perspective will always be encouraged and celebrated. I hope that students feel as welcomed to think as they are challenged in their thinking. • While the course-work listed below may look overwhelming and challenging at times, I never want a student to feel overwhelmed! I am here to help and have even evolved unit-plans according to feedback! • I welcome and encourage questions during class but also throughout the week! Message me in the "Conversation" tab of Outschool and I will do my very best to reply within 24-hours... but keep in mind, I am living a traveling-life so (because of travel-days and/or bad connection) sometimes that can stretch to 48 • The idea of providing a grade and then moving on is not my style. If a student is willing to persevere, I want to keep working with them until the learning goals have been achieved • I view "bad grades" as learning opportunities. That said, I allow students to rework and resubmit any assignment as many times as they want by the end of the course! PROVIDED RESOURCES • Class Calendar • Homework assignments (including digital worksheets) • Grading Rubrics HOMEWORK • 1 to 2 Chapters (or articles) of reading per week (depending on week) • 1 to 3 Analysis Questions based on the text (these questions are important to answer during the assigned reading as they will add to the class-time discussion!) • Unit-specific assignment (for example, paper-writing, poetry writing, characterization charts, etc) • It is advised that students review vocabulary terms in their own time GRADING PHILOSOPHY • Students will receive a percentage (0-100) for the activities, and then an overall percentage (0-100) at the completion of the course. Percentage will show their accuracy in achieving the learning goals (will be provided per assignment) for each given assignment. • Guardians and learners will be updated on their grade per assignment (shortly after turn-in). They will be updated on their course-grade upon completion of each unit, and upon completion of the entire course. • A letter-grade does not get applied to the percentage (feel free to look up your local school district's grading scale if you wish to know a letter-grade) • NOTE: The idea of providing a grade and then moving on is not my style. If a student is willing to persevere, I want to keep working with them until the learning-goals have been achieved. • I view "bad grades" as learning opportunities. That said, I allow students to rework and resubmit any assignment as many times as they want by the end of the course!

NOVEL CONTENT:
• The Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel and therefore contains creatures and entities that could be deemed frightening.
• Magic, fantasy violence, fight-scenes, and death.
• Romance is minimally involved with sexual content nearly nonexistent as a kiss is the most explicit scene.
• Characters drink (sometimes to drunkenness) and smoke pipes
• Catholic/christian allusions and metaphors (will be analyzed with scholastic approach)
CLASS CONTENT
• Students will have to write an essay analyzing The Lord of the Rings through one of the following perspectives: feminism, ecocriticism, spiritual, historical, or other (instructor-approved student-option). Theories surrounding those options will be taught in class (objectively)
Clips from the 2001 movie will played in class as a means for intertextual analysis. Frightening and violent images may be seen
