Students will learn through internet exploration, writing, discussion, debate, and various course activities. Students will read a variety of literary forms and do activities that focus on analysis, writing, and peer and teacher interaction. Students must keep a reading response journal and communicate with me once a week their feedback on the novel they are reading In addition to the reading response, students must move through the course units and be responsible for the tasks that each unit requires. Units One through Six are required, while the remaining 2 units will be your choice. Feel free to look over units 7 through 10 to choose the two units that best suit your interests.
All course work is to be completed in each unit before moving on to the next unit.
Respectful communication with the instructor and other students. Updates as to any changes in email address and phone number. Students to inform the instructor of any personal, technical, or academic problems or situations that prevent them from working in a timely fashion. All work must be the student's own. If the instructor suspects that the student copied someone else's work, or plagiarism, no credit will be given for the entire unit.
