1-2 horas por semana. Students will be asked to complete all of their reading outside of class. If some of our writing work is unfinished after class, students will be asked to complete that work outside of class as well. But the majority of work will be completed in class.
Evaluación
Students will be given several formal writing assignments throughout the semester. While these are not tests, per se, they can be used as assessment pieces for homeschooling evidence, which many states and countries require. All formal writing in my class will be completed with multiple rounds of written and verbal feedback. Students will have the opportunity to work through their writing skills as a group and 1-1 with me in class!
Calificación
Grading - Students will have the opportunity to receive a grade in the form of their choosing.I am happy to provide a grade in the form of a percentage, letter, or both. I can also offer a formal letter for submission to state programs. I ask students throughout the semester about their needs for grading and am happy to work with parents to create a plan that meets their needs! Please note that Grading is NOT required.

In this semester-long course, students will participate in various reading, writing, and discussion activities through a science fiction unit of short stories and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Curious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card accompanied by a fantasy unit of short stories and The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. The outline below may shift as the semester goes on depending on student needs, but we will go through the units as prescribed. As a teacher and a parent, I feel it is important to make adjustments based on student needs so that students are getting the most out of their classes and so that they are developing the skills that they need to be successful.

*** Please note that the September 2024 session will be covering Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. ***

We will take typical holiday breaks according to the United States federal holidays. We will also be taking a full week's break during the week of Thanksgiving in November and a spring break in the spring semester so that students can spend time with their families.

Orientación para padres
Here are the parental guides from common sense media and a plot overview for our novel studies: - https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/the-golden-compass-his-dark-materials-book-1 - https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/jekyll/summary/ When looking through the parental guides and summaries, please note that fantasy and science fiction novels have levels of violence in them that are common elements of the genre. We will work through these elements together but please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
