Frecuencia: 1-2 por semanaComentario: incluidoDetalles: For families using this class as part of their ELA curriculum, you will have several pieces of work from this class to include in a portfolio. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there are other elements you need to meet homeschool requirements in your state / province / country. Student work will include about 50-60 pages of reading (maximum) per week and will also include several different optional activities (including free-writing prompts). If families are using this as part of a complete homeschool curriculum, students should expect to spend 2-3 hours of work outside of class, however it will be possible to complete the work in as little as one to two hours per week for most students. Because student's abilities vary greatly, the amount of time it takes students to complete assigned work will vary greatly.Evaluación
Frecuencia: incluidoDetalles: Students will be informally assessed through class discussion to ensure student understanding and so I, as the teacher, can adapt the class to student's needs. Students will need to complete weekly reading to participate in class discussions, but all other assignments are considered optional, depending on how families are using this class. Please see the homework section above and reach out with any questions.Letra de calificación
Frecuencia: incluidoDetalles: Projects will have a grading rubric provided and parents have the option of using the rubric to provide a grade for their learner, or having me grade projects (or opting out of grading all together.) If parents wish to have a formal course grade for their student, I'm happy to provide that as well.
This class is designed to support a variety of learning needs with scaffolded and adaptable assignments. Dyslexic, ADHD, and Autistic learners have had great success in this class. Please reach out if you have specific questions.
Because this class is aimed at learners who are in grades 6-8, students need to have completed a minimum of 5th grade level ELA (a formal curriculum is not required). If you have questions about this, please reach out.
"I, Juan de Pareja" by Elizabeth Borton de Trevino "Inside Out & Back Again" by Thanhha Lai Shorter selections will be provided for students. These books can be purchased from Amazon, ThriftBooks, Abebooks, or even borrowed from the library (although I prefer students to have their own copy). Students do not need a specific version of these books. If purchased used, these books can be found for a total of around $15. Parents also need a *free* account with Teachers Pay Teachers to download and print *free* resources from that site for their learners. All other material will be common household and school supplies, or PDFs sent in the classroom.
Los estudiantes no necesitarán utilizar ninguna aplicación o sitio web más allá de las herramientas estándar de Outschool.
Parents should know that "I, Juan de Pareja" tells the story of a slave in Spain. The story is not graphic, although there are obvious issues about the inherent value of humanity and people owning other people. These will be discussed in class. For a fairly detailed summary of the book, check out https://www.supersummary.com/i-juan-de-pareja/summary/. "Inside Out and Back Again" is the fictionalized story of the author's fleeing Saigon at the end of the Vietnam War and resettling in America as refugees. As with the other book selection, the story is not graphic, but there are scenes of refugees crowding on ships, bullying, and adjusting to life in a new country. A detailed summary of this book can be found here, https://www.supersummary.com/inside-out-and-back-again/summary/. As we discuss these novels in class, we will affirm the value of all humanity, regardless of country of origin, religion, economic status, gender, etc. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to message me.
