주당 2-4시간. Students will need to read 5 complete novels and several short stories during this course. Estimated reading time depends on the student, but the average will be 2 to 3 hours a week. If students do better with audiobooks, that is completely acceptable. In addition, students will have 3 reading responses due and will be completing two creative projects and one literary essay. Again time will vary on these, but expect an average of 2 to 3 hours a week.

This course is divided into themes, with each theme lasting from 4 to 7 weeks. During each theme, students will read, write, and work on a creative project. For theme 1, students will create a fantasy world and write a short fantasy story. For theme 2, students will choose a short story and turn it into a graphic novel. And for our final theme, students will compose a literary analysis essay.

This class aims to create a secure and engaging classroom where students feel safe to share their thoughts, writings, and projects with me and each other to help them grow in their analysis skills and their writing skills. This course is heavy on reading and is best suited for students who are passionate about ELA. Please note, that we will have one week off between themes 1 and 2 and 2 and 3 for students to catch up on any writing/reading.

Learners will use Google Classroom as part of this course primarily to turn in assignments to me. Learners need a google account to join. The code for Google Classroom will be in the Outschool classroom. Please note that learners will not use Google Classroom to communicate and interact. I sometimes share YouTube links for learners. These will only appear in the Outschool classroom for the student's safety. All books are middle-grade or YA level. Please read reviews or pre-read if you have concerns. A Wizard of Earthsea and A Face Like Glass contain typical fantasy elements. The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, and Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins all deal with violence directed at young people or adults. There is death in all three stories.

Hello! My name is Jill and I am passionate about education and have extensive experience teaching in the online community. I love overseeing book clubs for tweens and teens, sharing my love of literature and writng, and offering classes that encourage and inspire students to share their thoughts and opinions with their peers.  

My goal is to expose students to a wide range of books that they may not pick up on their own. For teens, I have also developed book clubs that focus on one specific area and curate book lists that add depth to the course descriptions for when it is time to apply to colleges. 

Outside of Outschool, I am an educational consultant and homeschool expert at Simplify Homeschool. I run a group for homeschooled parents on Facebook called College Confident Homeschoolers and specialize in developing year long plans for teens and parents based on goals and interests. Additionaly, I support families with the college application process.

As for my own background, I began breaking away from the educational norm and deciding my own path when I took the California High School Proficiency Exam at age 16 and enrolled in community college. From there I went on to the University of California, Santa Barbara and graduated with honors with a B.A. in film studies. I completed the credentialing program from National University.

I am well-versed in all things related to homeschooling  and education. I specialize in the area of homeschooling gifted tweens and teens, twice-exceptional students, and students with disabilities, including both learning and physical disabilities. This interest stems from raising three amazing children who are living with disabilities. 

I welcome and support all learners in my classes and enjoy supporting every student no matter where they are at in their educational journey.
