2-4 horas por semana. Students can usually expect to spend 2 - 3 hours per week reading and sometimes writing at home. It's the quality of the work that's important, not the quantity! The number of pages will depend on the book. Students will work individually.Evaluación
I give numerous detailed comments on each piece of writing. In addition, I give numeric grades on writing, and numeric and letter grades at the end of the semester if parents would like me to. I'm also available for parent/teacher conferences.Calificación

Metas de aprendizaje
The goals of the class are:
to expose students to great writing from different times and places so they can see how humans and societies are similar and different,
to think critically about what we read and what constitutes great writing,
to explore ideas that are raised in literature and relate them to our own experience,
to understand and empathize with people who are different from ourselves,
to learn the different techniques by which authors express their ideas,
to "read between the lines," or make inferences from a text,
to express our own ideas precisely and vividly, both orally and in writing,
to learn, practice and improve different types of writing, and
to have fun reading and discussing literature.

Orientación para padres
The books we will be reading were written for adults. I have chosen them in discussion with a number of parents, and based on my experience, they will be suitable for most, but not all high school students. Parents are welcome to Google them and make their own decisions.
