6 時間 40 分 授業時間宿題:
週あたり 2-4 時間. Detailed weekly assignments will be given. Students will complete work individually at home and can be adapted by families depending on student's learning style and family's homeschool philosophies. Student work will include about 50-75 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.テスト
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.グレーディング
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.この文章は自動翻訳されています

Please note that although this is section three, this class can be taken alone; sections one and two are not required prerequisites. If looking to take this section without first taking sections one or two please carefully read this course description to ensure your learner has the necessary background knowledge. This middle school language arts class is a great companion to your homeschooling experience. Students are provided with opportunities to engage in deep discussion about what they read, learn key elements of literature, and complete creative projects, all while growing their abilities to think critically. The focus of this class is world literature-- authors and subjects that span the globe. Each week during class students will discuss the reading assignments from the past week using Blooms Taxonomy question starters, with student-created questions. As a teacher, I am always amazed at the depth of questions student ask and engage in! During this section, the rest of class will allow learners to examine the HOW and WHY literary elements are used (not simply what elements are used by an author). There will also be some direct instruction to equip learners to complete the week's assignment. Because this is a homeschool class, much of the work is done outside of class. Students will be given weekly assignments that cover reading, writing, and reinforcement of literary concepts. Assignments are not broken down by day so they can be adapted to each family's learning style and schedule. Assignments have a checklist for learners to grow in their ability to track their own progress and be responsible for their academic work. Work is clearly marked so students and parents know what is required to be able to fully participate in the next class, and what is up to the parent's discretion. Parents of younger students may wish to simplify assignments, while parents of older students will be given many opportunities for enrichment each week. This is truly a homeschool language arts class that you can customize to your family's needs. Topics below are the main reading selections that will be discussed during each week's class. Week 1: Introduction to class format / assignments, guided poetry discussion Week 2: "True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" chapters 1-6 Week 3: "True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" chapters 7-16 Week 4: "True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" chapters 17-end (class activity: trial of CD) Week 5: present "True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" project (fanfiction creative writing: new ending or next chapter), discuss "Eleven" Week 6: "A Long Walk to Water" pgs 1-73 Week 7: "A Long Walk to Water" pages 74-end Week 8: present "Long Walk to Water" project (student choice: time capsule or comic strip ), creative writing: two sentence stories Main literary selections for this section include "True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" by Avi (England and the United States), "A Long Walk to Water" by Linda Sue Park (Sudan, Korea, United States), "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros (Mexico and the United States). Literary concepts that will be analyzed include (but are not limited to): theme, plot elements (rising action, falling action, climax, etc), types of conflict, symbolism, imagery, setting, foreshadowing, point of view, genre, and characterization. Who would do well in this class? Because this course is aimed at students in grades 6-8, students should have completed grade 5 Language Arts (any curriculum or course of study, homeschool, public, or private school). Students reading and writing at or above grade level should be able to work on this class independently. Students reading and writing below grade level can still be successful in this class if they have support at home to be able to help with weekly assignments. Reading and writing levels should not affect student's abilities to participate during weekly class meetings. Students need to have a basic familiarity of the literary concepts mentioned above. This can be achieved by completing sections one and/or two of this class, or through another course of study. This class can be taken alone, or as part of a full year of Homeschool Middle School ELA. If you would like to use this class as part of a full year of curriculum, combine this class with ONE of the writing courses linked below as well as the two other literature sections. It is recommended that these classes be taken consecutively and not at the same time.

保護者へのお知らせ
The selections for this class are all commonly found on reading lists for learners ages 11-14. Because each family is different as to what is appropriate for their learners, please read this section.
Parents should know that "True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle" contains a scene of whipping a sailor of African descent, as well as the shooting of a sailor. Racism and societal gender roles are themes throughout this novel. For a more complete summary of this book, please read https://www.supersummary.com/the-true-confessions-of-charlotte-doyle/summary/
In "A Long Walk to Water," there are several scenes of genocide in Sudan. "Salva [the main character] experiences many horrific adventures as he walks, swims, and canoes from camp to camp. His friend, Marial, is dragged away from the camp by lions one night, and Salva witnesses many men dying of dehydration in the desert. The Nuer, a rival tribe, attacks the group and kills Uncle Jewiir. After making it to a refugee camp, soldiers force the travelers into a crocodile-infested river, where thousands die." (from the summary linked below) For a more complete summary of this book, please read https://www.supersummary.com/a-long-walk-to-water/summary/
I will not be explicitly teaching about the Sudanese genocide in this class, but am prepared to deal with any questions that arise in our student-led discussions. 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.
受講の前提条件
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.
