每週上課 45 分鐘 小時
作業
每週 1-2 小時. Learners will be expected to listen to the songs before class, if they have not already. They will also have some reading outside of class, that, at it's heaviest, will be about two hours/week. When we cover Jane Eyre, reading time will increase to about 4 hours per week. The novel is 624 pages, and most audiobook versions are around 18 hours.
評估
Ongoing and informal assessment will occur during every meeting, through interactions and assignments. There will not be any formal tests.
等級
Grades and certificates provided on request. Grades will be in the form of A, B, C, D, F. I understand some families prefer grades, so I offer them when requested. For me, however, the most important educational aspect is growth, which is typically evidenced much more in interactions, discussions, and creative activities. I value feedback, then the implementation of it, and that growth much more than a letter grade that only tells so much.

Taylor swift has been in the spotlight since the age of sixteen. In the past couple of decades, she had built an empire. She has been named Time's Person of the Year, won fourteen Grammys, forty American Music Awards, thirty-nine Billboard Music Awards, and twenty-three MTV Video Music Awards, and much more. She is an icon, admired by many.

     As Swifties know, her albums are divided into eras, each with a unique sound and thematic focus. We will dive into each, exploring her songs and their literary influences. Learners will read and analyze the texts that inspired her while looking for their influences in her lyrics. We will also take a biographical approach by considering some the life events that influenced her work. Class will be divided into her eras. Most of the content does not build on previous lessons, meaning learners can join at any time. The eras with building content have been noted below.

This class mainly relies on other texts, and will cite Swift's lyrics at times. Learners will be reading what she has read and loved. How exciting! Throughout the eras, we will have novel and poetry studies, as listed below. We will discuss the texts in class and complete various activities in regards to them. We will write at times, and have other activities such as trivia (on Gimkit or Kahoot), but most of the class will consist of preplanned discussion questions to help us think more critically and dive deeper into the literature.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Tortured Poet's Department (2024) Era

(I have a bit of analysis and listening to do since this was just released and is a MASSIVE album, so this may change. I am really just getting some ideas out here and will get feedback from learners before finalizing these plans.)

Literature Study: The Greek myth of Cassandra
Focus: Making connections, compare & contrast
Songs: Cassandra

Literary Analysis & Debate
Focus: Supporting claims, text evidence
Songs: So High School
We will analyze and discuss the song together, then learners will pick a side- do they believe this is about Taylor and Travis, or not? They will be given a few minutes to prepare their argument, focusing on supporting themselves with evidence from the song and Taylor's life and current relationship. We will then have a debate, which I will preface by saying neither side is right/wrong (at least that we can confirm as of yet), and going over some ground rules for healthy and friendly debates. After this, learners will have some time either write a paragraph or a full essay supporting their claim. Essay outlines will be provided. 

Poetry Study: Dylan Thomas and Patti Smith- "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” “Under Milk Wood,” and “Fern Hill,” "People Have the Power," & "About a Boy." 
Songs: TTPD

學習需求
Through my teaching experience, I have worked with autistic learners, as well as those with ADHD and Dyslexia in an academic setting. I try my best to meet learners where they are by scaffolding- providing supports and room for growth.
父母的引導和規範
Some of the literature and media viewed and discussed may have curse words. Parental discretion is always advised. Please listen to the songs beforehand. Common Sense Media links: Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare- https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/romeo-and-juliet Romeo + Juliet (1996)- https://www.commonsensemedia.org/movie-reviews/romeo-juliet Alice's Adventures in Wonderland-https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/alices-adventures-in-wonderland The Great Gatsby- https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/the-great-gatsby Jane Eyre- https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/jane-eyre At times, learners may access a third party platform: Google Docs, gimkit.com/join, and/or Kahoot.it. They do not need an account for Gimkit nor Kahoot. I will give them a code to join our specific game. They will need to join on a different internet tab than the tab they have Outschool or Zoom on, or can join on another device. For Google Docs, when we have writing assignments, each learner will be expected to provide me with a link to their Doc, where they will complete all of their work, so I can view it and provide feedback as needed.
