每週 1-2 小時. Students will need to read/watch outside of class. This will be especially important in the short story section but they may also be required to watch a short video on the topics of the poetry lessons before class begins. I do not anticipate this taking more than one hour for most weeks and most students. But students who read slower or weeks with particularly long short stories may need a little more.等級
Grades will be offered if parents request them before the semester begins. The grades will be based on student participation.我們無法翻譯此文，請刷新頁面並再試一次。

Together the teacher and learners will explore important authors from around the world such as Pablo Neruda, Shakespeare, E.E. Cummings, Robert Burns, Du Fu, J.R.R. Tolkien, and more. I know that at this age literature can sometimes seem out of reach, out of touch, and out-right boring. But I have found that learners can love poetry and short stories when they are supported with new vocabulary, lots of time for discovery and discussion, and a teacher who finds it all fascinating. I love talking to learners about the ways that their interests, experiences, and ideas intersect with literature. For each author, we will read a short work, talk about their time and place in history, and discuss the genre and literary elements of the work we are reading. Most classes will include a very short video, reading the poem aloud/an in-depth story structure analysis (plot, characters, protagonist/antagonist, etc), and then a discussion of the implications of the piece and connections/comparisons to other pieces of literature. This is a discussion-intensive course. 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 out. Please contact me before the semester begins to discuss your learner’s needs.
學習目標
Students will be introduced to, discuss, and enjoy poets and classic short story writers from America and beyond.

課 2:
China: Du Fu
With a look long ago and far away, this lesson focuses on a classic Chinese poem by the poet Du Fu called"Pounding Clothes." In the second half of hte lesson we cover the myth of "The Woman Who Cried Down the Great Wall." Both of these pieces of literaure highlight what it means to be a powerful and faithful woman in a dangerous political landscape. 55 分鐘線上直播課

課 3:
Chile: Neruda
Pablo Neruda, the author of our focus poem--"Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market"--lived a full and radical life. Yet the poem highlights his love and appreciation for the ordinary. Our lesson focuses on the use of metaphor and the sometimes sideways way that poets see the world. 55 分鐘線上直播課

課 4:
America/Lebanon: Gibran
In the first half of the lesson, we are looking at Sonnet 29 by William Shakespeare. With vocabulary support this is very accessible to students. In the second half of the lesson we examine Kahlil Gibran's "Sorrow." Both of these poems highlight the authors' experience with sorrow and despair and yet both end on a very positive note for the students. 55 分鐘線上直播課

其他詳情
學習需求
This class is a good fit for students with Dyslexia since it requires no reading aloud and all students are welcome to access the short stories via recording.
父母的引導和規範
Parents are the best judge of their learners' sensitivities and maturity. Some of the short stories are intense, but none of them are explicit. There is character death in "The Veldt" and "To Build a Fire." Furthermore, the history of the construction of the Great Wall is sad and disturbing. I would be happy to provide links for parents to preview any of the literature they are concerned about, and I welcome conversation about any of the literature choices here. Please feel free to reach out.

教師專業知識和證書
I teach all kinds of English classes including writing, grammar, literature, and ESL. I am an avid reader of fiction and non-fiction especially poetry, science fiction, and fantasy.
I have been teaching for more than 10 years. I taught English as Foreign Language in three different Chinese universities for a total of eight and a half years. These classes included comprehensive English, listening and speaking, writing, and pronunciation. I taught BA, MA, and Ph.D. students. Since we have returned to the United States, I have taught childbirth classes, online ESL through VIPkid, and Sunday School.
I am also a professional writer. I have a traditionally published book, another at my publisher waiting to be edited, and a novel in its second draft. I love giving students the chance to communicate, write, and learn in community with others.
I balance all this with being a homeschool mom. I have homeschooled my two daughters a total of fifteen years. My older daughter attended our local public high school, so I am familiar with public school needs and requirements as well.
I love sharing the wonder of language with learners young and old--both those who are learning English for the first time and those who are diving into the joys of literature. 評論
