Flexible Schedule Information : This flexible schedule class will mirror the live class offered with a few difference due to its flexible schedule. This class will be hosted by me on a various 3rd party sites to help build engagement through out the semester. The class will mainly be ran through an interactive site called Genially.  Learners will then be able to self direct their learning by completing different tasks set out. Examples of these would be direct instruction/lecture (by me recorded with slides using Canva and ED puzzle), supplemental videos via Youtube or a other site, discussion questions which should be answered via the Outschool classroom, Warm Up/Ice Breaker Questions using Padlet. Account creation is not required for any of these 3rd party materials. Direct instruction lessons via Ed puzzle will contain check for understanding questions throughout.

Class Information: 

In this class we will be reading and examining the book, Ghost Boys. The story is about a 12-year-old boy who has just been killed by a police officer. In the text we witness to his powerful journey to understand his life and death. The novel follows the boy meet and learn from the ghosts of other boys, like Emmett Till, who have lost their lives to racial violence, and explore his unlikely friendship with the only living person who can see him: the 12-year-old daughter of the police officer.

Students are encouraged to have either a physical or ebook copy of the book. Each week learners will read predetermined chapters set out by me. Each week students will learn selected vocabulary from the reading at the beginning of each class.  Students will also have targeted class discussions facilitated for meaningful dialogue via Padlet. Students will also be invited to journal after each reading. Prompts will be given but students can journal all feelings. Prompts are to help students to provide a safe space to express their thoughts and connect the story to real life or their own lives. Extension activities are hands-on ways to dive deeper into the text. These activities are to help learners gain different perspectives and review vocabulary. At the end of the class learners will write a final essay about the novel. Students will be able to use their previous journal entries and completed extension activities to think through their essays and find necessary information to support their opinion.
