💥 THEME: Check Language Arts off your list of subjects to teach and get individualized grading and feedback in this complete English course. This is the second semester of a must-take yearlongclass for middle school English students and emphasizes narrative writing, Socratic Seminars, and developing a love of reading. This is ideal for 7th or 8th-grade learners; however, we often have advanced 6th-graders and young 9th-graders. In this complete semester English course, we've carefully crafted content that will ignite a love for literature while developing essential writing skills. Learners explore literary elements, explore narrative writing, and have discussions that will teach students to think deeply about literature. We will also explore literature through thought-provoking Socratic Seminars that inspire insights into human experiences. Finally, we immerse students in the realm of poetry, where they learn to analyze and appreciate poetry's nuances while crafting their own creative verses. With their required reading of their choice novels and individual "Book Talk" presentations, this class builds confidence, imagination, and critical thinking.

💡WHY CHOOSE AN ORGANIZATION:
If your teacher becomes ill or has an emergency, we have other English teachers to step in as subs. Each English teacher is qualified and trained and is likely already. teaching another section of this class. This continuity for learners is a great benefit. We also have ongoing professional development because our teachers are lifelong learners themselves. You are in good hands with Lemons-Aid Learning.

We follow best practices in this area with how we design class time, assignments, and routines. According to Pennington Publishing, effective writing feedback (or grading) is:
• Specific, not general
• Immediate, not postponed
• Routine with a revision / feedback cycle
• Explanatory
• The right amount
• Targeted to the most critical issues
• Varied (written, audio, and video comments)
• Holding students accountable

👩‍🏫 YOUR TEACHER AND A FREE CLASS: 
Nervous about the commitment to an entire semester? We offer a little taste in a reading comprehension class. If you take that class, we will offer a coupon for a semester ELA class worth the enrollment fee of the reading class, essentially getting the one-time class for free.

💰 A Quick Note on Why Ask for Full Payment Up Front:
Outschool has a new class payment system, where parents can pay weekly for a semester class. This is helpful for the pocketbook! However, students can unenroll if their schedule changes. If a class falls below the minimum enrollment, teachers may cancel it, leaving remaining learners and their parents in the lurch for a class! We want to offer a consistent learning experience in our semester courses, so we commit to running the course all semester, and learners commit to remaining enrolled. We charge less per class in semester classes because of the upfront investment. A guaranteed semester allows us to build on content and do long-range projects and essays. It also allows us to build a special community of learners—and it’s a little hard to say goodbye at the end! We also offer ongoing middle school English classes, which are wonderful—just different. Hopefully, this helps you understand how our semester classes differ from others that offer weekly payments.
