2-4 horas por semana. Learners will be asked to read roughly 1/4 of a novel per week. Exact page numbers will depend on the novel. For each novel, there will be workbook pages or discussion questions provided that act as a reading companion. I do not grade this work.
Evaluación
For each unit (2 novels thematically linked), I provide optional project and essay prompts. Learners can complete an essay or a project to submit for feedback. Essays and projects will be submitted via Google Classroom.
Letra de calificación
If students submit an essay or a project, I will provide a rubric with a final letter grade, as well as comments within the essay or project itself.
Informe de progreso
I am always available and happy to work with caregivers to ensure that their learner's specific needs are met. If you wish to touch base with me about your learner, or discuss something in particular, don't hesitate to reach out and I will provide feedback.
Certificado de finalización
At the end of the semester (December) or the course (May), learners can request a final grade report. Learners must be enrolled in the class for at least four novels (two units), and must have submitted at least two essays and/or projects to qualify. I am unable to accurately assess a student's performance otherwise. Grades will be an average of: class participation, in-class writing, and essay/project grades, weighted evenly. Grade reports will include a written report as well as letter/number grades.

🌟 Course Overview 🌟

The High School Classics Year 1 English Language Arts course is crafted for homeschool learners eager to engage deeply with literature in a supportive and intellectually enriching setting. Through thematic exploration, discussion, and structured instruction, learners will develop a stronger understanding and appreciation of classic novels.

🌟 What to Expect 🌟

This course covers four thematic units, each highlighting two classic novels. Learners will explore each novel over four weeks, with each unit spanning eight weeks for a rich study of themes, symbols, and literary devices. While discussion-centered, direct instruction is provided to support learners with complex texts.

To complement discussions, learners will engage in collaborative activities and analytical writing exercises, helping them articulate and share insights confidently. By the end of each novel, learners will have a comprehensive understanding of its thematic depth and importance in literature.

🌟 Why Take This Course? 🌟

Ideal for learners who wish to:

✅ Cultivate a deep appreciation for classic literature
✅ Develop speaking skills through insightful discussions
✅ Improve analytical writing through focused literary analysis
✅ Prepare for AP Literature and college-level classes
✅ Follow a structured, full-year homeschool language arts curriculum

🌟 Who Should Enroll? 🌟

This course suits:

✅ Teens passionate about reading and discussing literature
✅ Learners looking to gain confidence in reading and writing
✅ Homeschoolers needing a full-year high school English course
✅ AP Literature students seeking extra support
✅ Aspiring English majors or those interested in literary studies
✅ ESL/ELL learners wanting advanced reading guidance with a TESOL-certified teacher
✅ Neurodivergent learners who thrive in inclusive, supportive environments

🌟 Additional Course Benefits 🌟

Enhanced Critical Thinking: Learners develop analytical skills applicable across subjects.
Collaborative Learning: Peer discussions encourage teamwork and social interaction.
Personal Growth: Engaging with challenging texts builds resilience and a growth mindset.
Writing Development: Feedback on assignments improves clarity and expression.
College Readiness: Exposure to classic literature prepares learners for college expectations.

🌟 Class Format 🌟

Warm-Up Discussion (~10 minutes): Share initial impressions of the reading.
Literary Analysis Writing (~10 minutes): Respond to a prompt or creative activity for deeper understanding.
Analytic Discussion (~25-30 minutes): Engage in group discussions, sharing insights and examining themes.
Sign-Off (~3 minutes): Conclude with reflection or predictions.

🌟 Materials & Optional Graded Essay/Project 🌟

Weekly materials foster critical thinking, and each unit offers an optional graded essay or project for individualized feedback. All assignments submitted via Google Drive.

🌟 Teaching Methods 🌟

I use Socratic questioning, guided analysis, and short writing exercises to create a relaxed yet intellectually stimulating environment. This approach builds critical engagement, helping learners gain confidence in their analytical abilities.

🌟 Interaction 🌟

This course emulates college-level literature discussions, fostering active engagement and creating a dynamic, peer-supported learning community.

🌟 Prior Knowledge 🌟

No prior knowledge is required, but learners should be comfortable reading high school-level novels over four weeks.

🌟 A Note About Content 🌟

Sensitive topics may arise within the novels. I ensure a respectful, judgment-free space for open discussion, and parents are encouraged to review each book for suitability.

🌟 A Note About Inclusion 🌟

New learners are invited (but not required) to share their pronouns, fostering an inclusive, welcoming classroom. With certifications in ELA, special education, and TESOL, I support diverse and neurodiverse learners in this course.
