每週 2-4 小時. Homework is a very important part of this class. Students will be assigned both reading and writing homework each week. To understand and benefit from the class this must be done before class. Students will also spend 3 weeks creating a story, 1 week peer-editing, 1 week revising, and then present their stories to the class.我們無法翻譯此文，請刷新頁面並再試一次。

Beginner 等級
In this class, students will read and discuss the Newberry Honor Award novel “The War That Saved My Life" by Katherine Brubaker Bradley. She is one of the premier authors in middle-grade historical fiction. As they read, students will be writing and editing their own pieces of historical fiction. Each week we will read a section of the novel, discuss it, and then apply what we are learning about setting to our own stories. Students will write their own historical fiction story, workshop other students' work, and then revise and present their own. As the instructor, I will read, edit, and offer feedback on every story. This is the perfect class for students who enjoy creative writing and are ready to try historical fiction. Students' stories will need to be "school" appropriate. Stories with graphic language, sexual content, or graphic violence are not acceptable in the class. In other words, all submitted stories need to be "pg." If you anticipate this being a problem, please contact me ahead of time. This is a discussion-intensive course that includes constructive criticism and editing of their peers. All students are expected to interact with respect and civility. I understand that the topics and themes can be controversial and invite disagreement. However, kindness facilitates productive and persuasive conversation. If a student needs accommodations, I am more than willing to help. Learners will never be required to read aloud in class and are welcome to access the novel via audiobook. Please contact me before the semester begins to discuss your learner’s needs.
學習目標
Students will identify and appreciate the tools that authors use to develop setting and apply those to their own writing.

父母的引導和規範
The novel "The War That Saved My LIfe" can be disturbing to sensitive learners. The protagonist is neglected and abused by her mother and there are scary moments that reflect her life in war-torn England. The book has enormous literary merit and I would be happy to discuss any questions about the book with parents.
We will be using Google Docs for writing. I will set the settings to avoid sharing any personal information.

教師專業知識和證書
I am eager to have your learner join the students from 5-50 to whom I have taught English. Although my original BA is in Psychology, I have taught both ESL and English at three different Universities abroad. I love students and I love literature. I have written a published non-fiction book, have another at the publisher, and have a completed novel in the editing process. I am eager to help North American students get a worldwide perspective on literature drawing from my own experiences as a reader and a traveler. 評論
