This is a flex course that includes optional live meetings that occur once a week. The material is paced with two weekly lessons and assignments. The weekly optional live meeting will mostly occur Monday evenings, but this can be adjusted to accommodate as many students as possible. This live meeting gives the students a chance to speak with me directly and ask questions. In addition to the live meetings, I will be interacting in the student discussion board and providing clarification with comments on Google Docs assignments. Students will respond to weekly prompts through a discussion board. They will be required to thoughtfully comment on at least two of their peers' answers. Students are assigned poem(s) to read and annotate. Guided Video Lessons will include different literary elements and poetic terminology with modeling to help students apply concepts. Student assignments will require them to answer technical and comprehension-based questions during poetry analysis. In this course, students will learn to annotate poems, identify and analyze literary elements, and apply their knowledge to cold-reads of poems. Placement and Difficulty Level- This course will likely be advanced for an average 8th-grade level student. The average 9th or 10th-grade student should find the course and reading material moderately difficult depending on their individual Lexile/Reading level.
