Supply fee: $50 | Monthly fee: $55 | Students age 12-16 | Fridays - 5th Period - 3:00-4:30 PM
In this class we will have a blast learning to do things that usually scare high school students. The class is appropriate for anyone in middle school to the first few years of high school. At the conclusion of this year you will be confident tackling things like reading Shakespeare, interpreting poetry, writing a report on a literary work and writing a work of fiction! There will be lots of hands on activities including acting out portions of a literary work and comparing a movie version of a story to the book. For a parent who dreads writing, don’t worry! Our first writing assignment will be broken down into brainstorming, drafting, revising and final draft. Each student will come home with class experience and detailed instructions on how to proceed.
I will supply several books on literature for the whole class but you will need to buy 2-4 paperback books during the year. Most are available at Half Price books or as used books on Amazon. You will know what books to order at least 3 weeks in advance.
ON THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS PLEASE BRING:
- 2” binder with at least:
- 15 section dividers that you can label
- Ruled notebook paper in the back of your notebook
- 2 sharpened pencils with good erasers
- Red Pen, Black Pen, Highlighter
