每週 1-2 小時. Students are evaluated on mastery of learning goals as evidenced by preparation for class and verbal contributions to discussion and debate during class. Students will have the opportunity to contribute at least once during class. Parents will receive monthly feedback, more frequent if necessary, to encourage participation. Verbal participation is required and will be highly supported by facilitator, as needed, until students are comfortable with expressing their ideas with more independence.

In this ongoing book club, we will read books discussing climate change, renewable, and non-renewable energies.  Our first book,"Unsettled: What Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters" is written by the former Undersecretary of Science, U.S. Dept. of Energy under the Obama administration and professor of theoretical physics. Learners will be assigned a specific chapter reading and questions to prepare for each class.  Weekly class meetings will provide an opportunity for students to discuss and debate the readings.

The e-book can be used if you are comfortable with bookmarking this version. Handouts with questions and discussion points will be provided weekly.
