Service Description
This challenging class will entail recognizing and writing about the elements of fiction. Additionally, a very challenging grammar focus will be on verbs and conjugating all of the tenses (much more than just present, past and future), as well as understanding tricky verbs and the active and passive voice. Age Suggestion: 14+ Main Course Sequence: follows Expository Writing; often taken more than once; concurrent with Rhetoric Writing Reading Requirement: Students will be required to complete a book from a specified list PRIOR to the start of class. Time Required: Approximately 4+ hours per week, plus 1-hour weekly online class time. UPDATED COURSE FORMAT: This course is offered as a hybrid model that blends asynchronous, interactive video lessons with live, text-based teacher meetings with the goal of meeting our students' various scheduling while better serving our auditory and visual learners. The time listed on the schedule is reserved for our OPTIONAL live Q&A session. How It Works: Each week, students will read the week's lesson and then access on-demand video lessons at the start of each week; these videos, recorded by our Home2Teach instructors, will guide students through a review of the focus skills for that week. After completing the video review, students will have the option to attend live "office hours" meetings with their teachers and fellow students. Course activities will take place in the Canvas learning management system. Lessons, course materials, requirements, and the revision process will remain the same.
