ABOUT MY CLASS
Thank you for your interest in my class! I'm so happy that you are here! This class is suitable for students aged 13-16 who wish to learn more advanced reading and writing strategies and techniques in preparation for advanced courses and/or college. Students will read short passages (a variety of genres and writing styles), complete writing activities, discuss and analyze texts, and engage in literary criticism. This class moves students past recall (who, what, when, where) and encourages students to analyze, think critically, and support ideas with evidence using dialectic methods. In doing so, students will explore how to argue their claims effectively, how authors structure writing for specific purposes, how forms of literary criticism (psychological, historical, reader-response, psychoanalytical, etc) expand the value of a text, and how rhetoric is used to persuade readers.

Structure:
1. Warmup/pop quiz/ writing prompt
2. Students discuss and engage with the text mentioning things that they found interesting, confusing, or that they disagreed with
3. Analysis questions/activities prompted by the instructor and discussion time


NOTE: Each week will be a new topic. Students can enter and leave at any time, however, each week students will have a reading assignment. The reading assignment MUST be read before class. Texts will be posted by unit and each text will be dated with the date that the student is expected to have the text read. For each unit, there is a short quiz and an essay.

REQUIREMENTS:
To be successful in this course, students should be able to read at an 8th-grade reading level, write coherently (embedding evidence), and be able to participate in class discussions. Students are required to speak and give opinions/feedback. Occasionally, students do need to use the chat for an informal writing prompt, however, most of the class will be spent in discussion.

TEACHING STYLE
The best way to teach writing and critical thinking is by looking at good literature. Many of our writing activities are supported by mentor texts (short essays, articles, and short stories). Students will be exposed to a diverse collection of excerpts from classics as well as modern literature. The majority of texts are read outside of class. We will use class time to discuss the text. After class is a formal writing assignment. My class will help build the skills that high school teachers and college professors are looking for--critical analysis, independent thinking, and articulation and support of claims and evidence. All FORMAL writing is done outside of class (there will be some informal writing done in class). The only way to become a better writer is to write more; this is why a writing assignment is given each week.

PARTICIPATION: 
Students may choose to keep cameras on or off as long as they briefly verify themselves with me at the beginning of the class (per Outschool policy). I do expect participation in this class. We cover quite a bit of material and it is essential that students discuss and understand the material. Being active participants helps them do so.

MISSED CLASSES
If your student misses a class, a recording will always be accessible on the classroom page. The PowerPoint lesson and notes are always available as well.

REFUND POLICY 
If your student is not able to attend in person but stays enrolled, refunds will not be issued. This is because the student can still access the materials, recordings, and receive feedback for assignments. I do provide refunds for emergency situations.

학습 목표

CLOSE READING 
Close reading is a skill that is required in order to discover more than an author’s message and what was said. In this course, we begin to concentrate on how an author conveys, persuades, evokes, and so on. In understanding a writer’s talent and craft, we improve our own ability to convey, persuade, and evoke.

The following is a list of some of the devices and concepts that we will be focusing on:
∞ Finding patterns in a text through annotation
∞Analysis, including, for example, the author’s development of theme or tone through imagery, diction, syntax, choice of details, point of view, author’s use of figures of speech and sound devices
∞Noticing language choices: Students understand how writers and speakers use specific words and sentences to move the thoughts, emotions, and actions of readers and listeners.
∞ Reading and analyzing text through literary criticism lenses (i.e. Marxist, historical, biographical, reader response, etc.)

WRITING
Writing is a process. Learning to write is a process. The only way to learn how to write well is through writing and writing and writing some more. Part of the process is revision. These two activities are imperative to a good writer. Students will be able to:
∞ Write introductions that attack an issue in a thoughtful manner
∞ Write well-developed and solid paragraphs
∞ Use facts, quotations, and paraphrases as support for a stated position
∞ Write thesis statements powerful enough to dictate the direction of the paper
∞ Gain patience for deep and meaningful revisions
∞ Analyze, not simply summarize
∞ Develop a voice

학습 요구
This class is supportive of any specific needs of students. Please reach out if your learner needs accommodations
학부모 가이드
3rd Party Sites: Google Docs (writing assignments), Google Forms (quizzes). Students will not be providing emails. I will send students a Form link and they will take the quiz (no emails required). Students will send me the link to their writings via Google Doc links. All texts are appropriate for the high school level. I choose quality literature from the literary canon that helps students understand themselves and the world in which they live a little better as they consider various time periods and cultures. Sensitive material and themes, such as racism, prejudices, death, oppression, religion, etc., are handled with respect for the humanity and dignity of all individuals. I avoid literature with any obvious or graphic sexual themes or references. Literature has religious allusions, and I sometimes point them out so that students understand the literary and cultural relevance of such. Discussion is focused on what the characters believe, what the author believes, and what beliefs were central to periods of time. Parents are welcome to listen in to class or to watch the recording, which I automatically post. I encourage students to talk to their parents about the literature and the topics that we discuss.
사전 요구 사항
This class prepares students for college-level reading and writing. Students should be able to read at an 8th grade reading level and write thorough paragraphs.
