This is a 13-week semester-long full curriculum course that develops students’ reading, analysis, and writing skills while exploring our course’s essential question: “How do individuals change?” A fitting option for students who are in homeschool or need a supplement to their school studies, this course is planned to connect students with themselves and enrich their understanding of others. Be aware that the course meets 3 times a week and 1-2 hours of homework is expected between each class meeting. The homework is typically reading and analysis that will aid class discussions, as well as work on students’ projects. The homework allows students to independently practice their skills as they further develop those skills during our collaborative class meetings. Our course is divided into four units. At the end of each unit, students will demonstrate their understanding with a project that captures the concepts learned throughout the unit and course. Unit One engages students in poetry. Students will analyze various poems to develop an understanding of sensory details, adjectives, adverbs, strong verbs, present tense, metaphors, alliteration, assonance, enjambment, and punctuation. By the end of the unit, students will utilize the mentioned concepts to write and present a collection of poetry centered on people and moments that changed them. Unit Two has students reading and analyzing the historical fiction novel Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Students will become familiar with direct vs. indirect characterization, annotating, citing textual evidence, outlining, writing a thesis statement, and organizing a presentation. By the end of the unit, students will utilize the mentioned concepts to create and present a character analysis slideshow that explains how the the novel’s main character is transformed by her interactions with other characters. Unit Three builds on the previous two units by preparing students to write an original short story. Students will read and analyze various short stories to develop an understanding of protagonists, secondary characters, character wants and flaws, setting, Freytag’s Pyramid, and peer feedback. Students will also build upon their knowledge of sensory details and indirect characterization. By the end of the unit, students will utilize the mentioned concepts to write and present an original short story that follows a protagonist on a journey that leads to personal transformation. Unit Four further develops students’ reading, analysis, and writing skills as they engage with the dystopian sci-fi novel Maximillian Fly by Angie Sage. Students will become familiar with the components of the dystopia genre as they develop their vocabulary. Students will revisit concepts from throughout the course as they build towards writing a personal narrative essay about a time when they misjudged something or someone. Students should be prepared to participate in class and engage with texts at grade level. I am here to aid students as they develop, but that can only happen if students are prepared to read our texts with moderate to minimal assistance. Two novels must be purchased/rented for this course: Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan (purchased/rented by Unit 2) and Maximillian Fly by Angie Sage (purchased/rented by Unit 4). Others course texts will be provided during the course and be accessible via the Outschool Classroom.

The texts that we encounter during this course will present an array of human experiences, from poverty to discrimination to death.
This course also offers students the opportunity to write about their personal experiences. While no one is forced, or even suggested, to write about a specific subject, previous students have chosen to write about very traumatizing experiences related to sickness and death of loved ones. I appreciate that such students take advantage of the cathartic nature of writing, and I do keep parents in the loop about any behavior that I think warrants their attention. Please let me know ahead of time if there is anything related to your learner that I should be aware of.

I have taught Language Arts in-person and online to students ranging from elementary to high school. This course is an adapted mishmash of various lessons I've taught throughout my teaching career and is refitted to align with middle grade students. I have my Bachelor's in Creative Writing and my Master's in Education. Most importantly, I have a genuine enthusiasm for this course. I'm up way past my bedtime typing this because I couldn't wait until the morning. I'm just really interested and excited to present this course and engage students in all that is has to offer.
