Students will be given several optional formal writing assignments throughout the semester. While these are not tests, per se, they can be used as assessment pieces for homeschooling evidence, which many states and countries require. All formal writing in my class will be completed with multiple rounds of written and verbal feedback. Students will have the opportunity to work through their writing skills as a group and 1-1 with me in class!評分
Grading - Students will have the opportunity to receive a grade in the form of their choosing.I am happy to provide a grade in the form of a percentage, letter, or both. I can also offer a formal letter for submission to state programs. I ask students throughout the semester about their needs for grading and am happy to work with parents to create a plan that meets their needs! Please note that Grading is NOT required.我們無法翻譯此文,請刷新頁面並再試一次。

Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a New York Times Bestseller. It follows the story of Eddie, a war veteran spending a seemingly meaningless life fixing broken-down amusement park rides at the beautiful and famous Ruby Pier. While celebrating his 83rd birthday at work, something tragic happens, an accident involving a falling ride while trying to save the life of a little girl. When he opens his eyes next, he stands in heaven. While heaven is not the Garden of Eden-like place he dreamt it to be, but rather a place of meeting where one meets five people who changed your life in unimaginable ways. He does not know whether or not it ended with success or tragedy, but his journey to discovering the truth will lead us to question - what is the meaning of life. As students read this novel, we will participate in a series of activities designed to get students thinking about and questioning their own purpose in life. We will strive to think deeply and critically about the life we live, the influence that we have on others, and the relationships we develop around us. Our discussion will center around reading comprehension and analysis of the novel while asking ourselves the same questions posed to Eddie in the novel. In the end, we will focus on the five lessons taught to Eddie as seen in our weekly schedule posted below!

父母的引導和規範
Because the novel centers around the death and the afterlife, these will be topics that we cover in class. But it is important to note that the conversation will not focus on the death of the character but rather the importance of the life that he lived. We will examine the consequences of his actions, both good and bad, through while looking at our own perspective and lives. The title discusses the idea of heaven but is not based in a religious idea. Rather, it is a literary device used as a means to develop the theme of connection, relationships, influence, and more in the novel. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out!
供應清單
Students will be asked to purchase the novel or to get a copy of the novel for class. We will frequently reference the novel as we do our discussion so students are asked to bring their book to class every single day to make sure that they are able to participate and to be successful in our class discussions!
