Learners will need paper, pencils, and an eraser. Some students prefer to mainly type up their work, and that's fine. Feel free to print out the handouts, but they don't have to be printed out. Also, some students like to add color and art to their work. So, they may want to use things like crayons or markers. Lastly, if learners want to include relevant things (like toys or pets) in their posts, that's terrific. 

學習者無需使用標準 Outschool 工具以外的任何應用程式或網站。

This online poetry class has a secular and creative focus. I like it when learners use their imagination, but I'll also recognize and appreciate scientific facts. Outschool learners do not have to write about things they do not like or believe in (e.g., aliens or magic). A wide array of things are relevant to the themes. For example, one learner may want to write about an imaginary unicorn alien, and that's cool. Furthermore, I'll also praise a space enthusiast who wants to rhyme about Mars. If your family has an issue with a certain topic, then it can be skipped. Your learner(s) can choose an appropriate free choice theme instead. Lastly, I will not specifically mention Halloween, Christmas, or other holidays in any of my videos, handouts, or comments during this course. (I offer other classes that focus on holidays.) However, some learners may choose to include holiday aspects (e.g., their Halloween costumes and Santa's elves in their poems).
