This is the second course in a year-long rotation. This class goes a step beyond your average book club and is designed to support neurodivergent learners. Texts chosen are available on platforms with dyslexia-friendly options including audiobooks and a variety of writing supports and accommodations are available.  Scaffolding is provided for new or non-literal language. The course is taught by a neurodivergent educator. 
This year we will be focusing on encountering classics and developing literary analysis skills to prepare learners for advanced learning opportunities in literature. In this unit, learners will read Animal Farm and A Wrinkle In Time to understand how authors use allegories and symbols to discuss real world problems in fantastical settings. We will also read a variety of short allegorical stories and poems to guide us in our creative writing. Learners will become familiar with the elements of allegories and develop analysis skills. 
This course involves a substantial amount of independent work in the style of a flipped classroom and assumes the learner will dedicate approximately 45 minutes to an hour each weekday we do not meet. A teacher-created workbook is included with your enrollment in the course to guide reading. These activities can be accommodated based on the needs of the individual learner to provide more time and support for emerging skills.

I began reading at the age of three and have averaged multiple books a week since.  I have a honor's in discipline in English from East Tennessee State University where my focus was on middle grades and young adult literature. I was a peer tutor for four years teaching college level English including preparing students to take the GRE for an additional two years. I have been teaching online book clubs for two years online and last year my average student who took standardized pre-post tests (The NWEA MAP Growth exam) improved their reading placement by two grade levels.  
I completed my undergraduate thesis on the subject of middle grades literature and won local and state wide awards including having the honor of presenting at a statewide conference for outstanding undergraduate research. 
Relevant Coursework: 
Read 3100 Teach Read for K-6. This course is exceptionally relevant to this course as it provided a foundation in the science of reading approach which provides explicit, direct, and accurate phonics based instruction to support all readers. This is utilized in this course despite the difference in age ranges through optional spelling activities to support learners who may have lagging skills in reading and spelling. 
Read 3200: Teaching Writing and Language Arts. This course provided frameworks and strategies for teaching writing in motivating ways to students and for understanding the development pathways of writing and language arts. 
Eng 3118: Honor's Lit Focus. In this focus I explored representations of American History, focusing on the complex history of  California, through a variety of literature for adolescents. This class also modeled engaging ways of teaching literature for this age group and dealing with complex subject matter. 
English 4077: Literature For Adolescents This class focused on the teaching, critical analysis, and exploration of literature for middle school students. It explored methods of education and dealing with complex subject matter as well as strategies for evaluating texts both academically and developmentally.
