How does this self-paced class this work? 
This class is a self-paced class, so there are no live meetings. Learners will have access to the recording, based on your subscription (all inclusive or weekly). Each lesson contains one video that introduces the weekly prefixes or suffixes, notebook page, and challenges for the learner.  Each video will be recorded as if your learner is in a class. The beauty of self-paced classes is that learners are able to stop, rewind, and even rewatch the lesson. 

How will learners apply what they learn? 
During the recording, learners will complete a visual for their interactive notebook. Following the recording, learners will be directed  on Gimkit, Kahoot, or Blooket to for fun educational activities to apply what they learned.  An account is not required for Blooket, Nearpod, or Kahoot. 

What is an interactive notebook? 
An interactive notebook is a learner made notebook that visualizes grammar skills in charts, flip charts, graphics, and more! After class, the interactive becomes a resource that supports all language art curriculums.
